Editorial note

The LaCie 301486 stands out for its high write and read speeds, reaching up to 24x for CDs and 8x for DVDs. This performance enhances efficiency during use, making the burning and reading process faster. Its compact and elegant design, with dimensions of 157.5 x 25 x 137 mm and a modern black finish, allows it to easily fit into various work environments. However, the product has some notable drawbacks. Limited compatibility with recent operating systems, such as Windows 10 and 11, may restrict its use for users looking to take advantage of the latest technologies. Additionally, the write speed for DVD-RW and DVD-RAM is relatively low, which could be a drawback for those with more intensive burning needs. The single USB 2.0 port also limits connectivity, making it difficult to connect multiple devices simultaneously. In terms of robustness, the lack of internal elements raises concerns about long-term durability, especially for mobile use. Finally, while the provided software is useful, it may not meet the expectations of advanced users looking for more extensive features. Overall, the LaCie 301486 offers good value for money, particularly for users seeking a high-performance optical drive with a sleek design, but may not be suitable for those with specific requirements regarding compatibility and advanced features.
