Sata or USB Burner?

[Tattooed Freak]

I have upgraded to a new pc which only takes SATA drives. I have tried to use my Pioneer 111d in a usb caddy (with usb and then the firewire slot) but burning images fails after 20 minutes. I'm gonna sell on the 111d and invest in a SATA or USB Writer. Any recommendations guys??

Wack in 1394 firewire card which are cheap now and pioneer will work a dream.
Doing this on my laptop and works a treat,but usb shares between all connections as firewire does not.

Hope your caddy has firewire,sorry if it has not but mine did,and thought all caddy nowadays would.

Yup, as hutch says! I was using USB with my laptop, and it kept stopping at random percentages each time I tried to burn a disc! Then moved to firewire, and been fine ever since!

Using firewire tonight has made no difference. It must be the caddy.
