Best Firewire CD-RW?

Hey.. got a pbg4 in the mail. need to order a firewire cd-rw.

My choices are:

Formac 24x
Smartdisk 8x bus powered portable

or some other one.. maybe the tdk?

Anyway, i cant decide between portability or speed and burn-proof. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just got

a LaCie 40x24x12 and it rules, especially considering the £240 (inc tax) price tag. It's on the large side, and is a bit blue, but I seems to be a really good buy...

I like my Yamaha CRW2100IX

Works fine with OS 9 and OS X, jolly fast, 16x10x40, Pure Phase Laser System (whatever that means), overrun protection, all the works.

tismey.. do you mean the 24x write, 40x read, 10x re-write lacie? if so, then that is the one i decide on. If there is a 40x write model, the 24x is going back and i am ordering the 40x. :P
