Plextor PX-504UF interface question PLEASE HELP

Postby casezille on Thu Jul 22, 2004 4:48 pm

Hello,
This is going to sound like a dumb question, so I apologize. =) I am thinking about getting the external Plextor PX-504UF burner, as I found it for $119 with a $50 rebate. However, I am a bit confused about the mimumum system requirements. I only need to burn DVD to DVD...will not be connecting any other equipment like camcoders, etc. The min. interface requirements said "Dual IEEE 1394 and Hispeed USB". My computer has a USB 2.0 but no Firewire (and I use Windows XP). If I get this burner, will I at least be able to burn DVD to DVD? I thought the Firewire is only needed if I was going to be burning from other sources, but thought I would ask some more knowledgable people before I purchase anything. Just wasn't sure if I had to have both.
I want to get an external drive, 4x speed is a-ok, and this was the cheapest and best reveiwed burner I could find..but just wasn't sure about the interface requirements. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! =)
