ianymaty Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 That is a reader. On that page you linked, it clearly states the speeds for read, never for write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 That's a reader, not a writer. Where do you *think* it says it can write stuff?! The link you posted says nothing of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I clicked on the download tab of that link, and downloaded the PDF for Product Spec. It looks to me like it says it is a writer even though the main page lists only read speeds. It also says it works off of USB power, but I wonder if a laptop USB connection would be strong enough to burn a disc? Anyway, below is a paste of part of that PDF. Write DVD+R 8X maximum by ZCLV External 8X DVD-R 8X maximum by ZCLV DVD Writer DVD+R9 6X maximum by ZCLV DVD-R9 6X maximum by ZCLV DVD-RAM 5X maximum by ZCLV DVD Family Rewrite DVD+RW 8X maximum by ZCLV DVD-RW 6X maximum by ZCLV Read 8X maximum by CAV Access time 130ms Write CD-R 24X maximum by ZCLV Rewrite CD Family CD-RW 24X maximum by ZCLV Read 24X maximum by CAV Access time 110ms Pentium 166 MHz or higher CPU, 128MB or higher RAM a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 OK, seems indeed is a writer, dontasciime, one of the Beta Team Members has one. In any mode go to Tools > Drive > Capabilities, there will show what it can do. Post a screen of that and post a log as per the pinnk box above says. Please describe in detail what you did and what do you try to accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The product spec download is for the eTAU108, not the eTDU108. The eTAU might well be a writer but the eTDU isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
