Blu-ray/DVD burner -- does USB 3.0 make any sense?
My blu-ray/DVD burner has firewire and USB 2.0 connectivity, and while I'd always connected via firewire, that's not as practical with my late 2012 Mac Mini. (The mini's firewire port is being used by an audio interface, which has issues when other firewire devices are connected.) So that leaves me connecting the burner to one of the mini's four USB 3.0 ports. My question: would I be able to burn optical media faster and get better overall performance if I upgraded my burner (an LG 14X) to USB 3.0 -- it looks like there are at least a few USB 3.0 burners and enclosures out there. Or are read/write times with optical media such that USB 2.0 or 3.0 really doesn't matter? I'm using the burner to make DVDs and blu-rays in Final Cut Pro X and Toast.
