I have a Lacie usb external 4X4X24 burner and the burner died, I can't find
the manual so here are my questions, 1: Can I replace the drive in the
enclosure and still have a functional dependable drive? 2: I assume it is a
usb 1.1 enclosure but can anybody confirm this, have a manual, or a link? 3:
If it is a usb 1.1 enclosure what is the highest speed I will get out of a
burner and would it matter any if I plug it into a usb 2 port, any chance of
faster burning speed?
Thank you
PS if anybody has a pdf manual for this drive could you forward it to me?

I have successfully done this with external hard drives. The thing to do is
to *carefully* dissassemble the drive enclosure, and check the brand and
model of the drive inside it (there are only so many cd burner
manufacturers). Try to then get the identical drive, make sure the jumpers
are set the same, and the cables connected in the same manner, and you
should be off to the races.

Hope this helps

Fred.
