LaCie 107671 CD-RW Ultra Speed External FireWire Drive 90-240VAC 50-60Hz

The LaCie 107671 is an external Ultra Speed CD-RW drive that connects to a host computer via FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a). It writes, rewrites, and reads standard CD media and uses LaCie's compact desktop enclosure with a universal switching power supply, making it compatible with both Mac and PC systems equipped with a FireWire port. The rear panel carries two FireWire 400 ports for daisy-chaining additional FireWire devices.

Applications

External FireWire CD-RW drives like the LaCie 107671 were a popular solution in the early-to-mid 2000s for Mac and PC users who needed a portable or supplemental optical burner without opening their computer. FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) offered faster and more consistent throughput than USB 1.1, making it the preferred interface for optical drives and external storage of that era — particularly on Apple Macintosh systems, where FireWire was a standard port before USB 2.0 became dominant. LaCie was a well-regarded brand for external storage and optical drives aimed at creative professionals, and their compact desktop enclosures were common in design studios, video editing suites, and music production environments. Today these drives are primarily sought for use with legacy Mac or PC workstations that retain FireWire ports, for data archiving from older CD media, or as replacement units for period-correct setups. The universal 90–240VAC power input means the drive can be used anywhere in the world without a voltage adapter.
