32x LaCie CD-RW & OS X question...

Posted:
in Current Mac Hardware edited January 2014
A buddy of mine recently purchased a LaCie U&I (FireWire and USB) 32x CD-RW drive.



On the box (as well as Apple's site), this particular model is shown to be OS X compatible.



Sure enough, the drive works wonderfully, right out of the box. However, it only seems to burn CDs at 8x.



The only Mac software the drive came with was a copy of Toast Lite. And even it was for OS 8.6-9.x.



She's running OS X full-time (Microsoft Office v.X, iTunes, Internet Explorer, Acrobat Reader kind of user...all OS X native programs).



I checked LaCie's website for drivers and there appear to be none that are OS X-specific or seem to address this issue. Nothing at Apple's site.



I'm pretty sure she's at OS X 10.1.4. Anyone know what this could be...why she can't seem to burn CDs at the advertised speed of 32x?



In the iTunes preferences, she has the burn speed pull-down menu set to "maximum".

    Has she downloaded the OS X update for Toast and tried that?



    I also have a problem with iTunes in OS X and burner... with my 24x burner it only burns at 12x.
