Aqua-Soft ForumsI am lookin @ getting an usb2 enclosure so I can use my DVD burner on mulitiple computers. I was wonder if anyone knows how this might affect the drive?
Usb2 Cd\dvd-rom Enclosures
whada you mean affect the drive?
Mostly data transfer speeds. If I remember right though USB2 is faster than IDE. Just lookin for personal experience with this setup. 
yeh usb2 is theoretically faster than IDE BUT if your drive is originally an IDE drive, speed will NOT increase, since the bottleneck is still in the drive's IDE 
your burner will have the same speed as always
