2.0 out of 5 stars Mac OSX Users Beware, October 5, 2005

This review is from: LaCie 16x LIGHTSCRIBE PORSCHE Firewire DVD DL (300784U) (Personal Computers)

The Lightscribe function on this drive doesn't work properly with OSX, even if you download the software and firmware updates. Labels are hazy and very faint. There is a 1.02 update for the LaCie Lightscribe Label software that is supposed to fix this function but, oddly, it doesn't do anything, which is why you can now only download it from other websites (LaCie took the update down from their own site). LaCie is working on a firmware update for this drive, but as of 10/05/05 customer support said the update was still in beta. The Lightscribe company itself has issued an update, but only for Windows PCs.

On the plus side, it looks real pretty and burns audio CDs really fast. But then again, you aren't considering this drive just for the normal burn functions, are you?
