Dynex RITEK-R03-02
Memorex CMC MAG-E01-00

Is it the media or am I in need of a firmware update? Could it be the external case?

Thanks.
You need to run Nero CD/DVD Speed Program to determine your maximun DVD transfer rate first. Then post results... Not all Cases are equal... I have seen the range of 7MB/s to 19MB/s. At 19 MB/s you can support a 12X drive. At 7 MB/s you CAN'T EVEN SUPPORT an 8X drive...
Hope this helps...
