Key Specifications & Features
  • Model: FWCDRW-V8
  • Speeds: 8x CD-R write, 8x CD-RW rewrite, 24x CD-ROM read
  • Connectivity: IEEE 1394a (FireWire) 6-pin port
  • Power: Bus-powered when connected to a 6-pin FireWire port (no AC adapter needed)
  • Anti-Buffer Under-run: Includes JustLink technology to prevent failed burns during multi-tasking
  • Compatibility: Originally designed for Mac OS and Windows [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Important Considerations for Modern Use
  • FireWire Adapters: Because modern computers no longer feature FireWire ports, you will need legacy FireWire-to-Thunderbolt adapters if you intend to connect this to a modern Mac. [1]
  • Driver Availability: While plug-and-play on older operating systems, modern operating systems may not natively support writing to legacy CD-RW drives without third-party burning software. [1, 2]
