Manual of product 301485
Editorial note
The LaCie 301485 is an optical drive that stands out for its optimal burning and reading performance. With writing speeds reaching up to 24x for CDs and 8x for DVDs, it perfectly meets the needs of users looking to transfer data quickly. Additionally, its LightScribe functionality allows for aesthetic customization of discs, adding practical value to its use. In terms of design, the product features an elegant black color and compact dimensions (157.5 x 25 x 137 mm), making it suitable for various work environments while facilitating integration. Its weight of 305 g, although relatively light, may feel a bit heavy for a portable optical drive, which can affect its portability. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The writing speed for DVD-RW is limited to 6x, which can slow down the burning process. Furthermore, the presence of a single USB 2.0 port limits connectivity, making the simultaneous use of multiple devices more complex. The lack of compatibility with recent operating systems, such as Windows 10 and later, may also restrict its use for users of modern technologies. In summary, the LaCie 301485 offers good value for money for those seeking a high-performance optical drive, but it is essential to consider its limitations in terms of connectivity and compatibility before purchase.Score details
