DVD external Enclosure

[dcxgod]

So i got a new dual layer dvd burner from IO magic. I'm trying to find an external enclosure for it that includes USB connection. Anyone got some good recommendations?

most enclosers do not include the cables, and I would suggest that you use firewire instead of usb. most cases will have both ports.

Yes, all required cables are included with the enclosre that glc linked you to. http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/4145/17145342113fh.th.jpg (http://img308.imageshack.us/my.php?image=17145342113fh.jpg)
I have one of the Bytec's and it works very well.

For the Bytecc enclosure glc linked to (from Newegg's customer reviews) : Using for a DVD Burner? Read this.

Pros: Solid as a rock, works.

Cons: Known chipset issue with regards to DVD burning latency that ONLY affects burning DVD-R media, see DVD Decrypter forums.

Other Thoughts: Newegg review policy warns against giving out urls, so I won't. But the chipset in this enclosure causes an intermittent bug which coasters DVD-R media when using this with a DVD burner. Works PERFECTLY for DVD+R, I solved the problem by switching media. Just didn't want others to get caught blind like me. I've burned upwards of 200 movie discs with a NEC 16x burner in this thing. Just buy Taiyo Yuden DVD+R media and you're good. I gave it a 3 for the chipset issue alone.
