[X4U] External Blu-Ray writer

[Paul Moortgat]

I contacted Sonnet about their card I use and they replied:

Here the answer from our Technical guru. The error you experience has nothing to do with the Sonnet E2P card: 

Did a Google search of that error and found these threads:

Interface Error:5 The Connection Is Not Stable - Roxio Community <http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/963-interface-error5-the-connection-is-not-stable/>

interface error: 5 the connection is not stable - Apple Support … <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2241718?start=0&tstart=0>

It's definitely has nothing to do with our E2P card.

It seems that I better install an internal writer.  The only thing is that it's not a Sata inside.  I've a 2008 Mac Pro.
I might use the internal Sata1 connector to a Sata2 from the writer.

I don't remember if it was FCP or iDVD that at one time (haven't used either for a while) had a bug where if the drive with the project didn't have enough scratch space, it would tell you the boot drive didn't have enough space. I had to make sure both drives had enough free space.
