DVD burner kills discs in external USB enclosure

[crudux-cruo]

Hello,

I have a Pioneer DV-111DBK in a Bytecc USB enclosure.
It is recognized just fine. Recognizes DVDs, CDs, etc.

But when I try to erase or burn a DVD-/+R, RW (Many brands) Burn & Go just spits out the DVD as if it's done, but it is ruined. Ashampoo 5 atleast gives me the message 'cannot write to media'. I updated the firmware for both the DVD-Burner and Enclosure successfully.
Still the same problem.

I took the Burner out of the enclosure, hooked it up as 2nd master using EIDE cable
and it worked just fine.

I'm perplexed.

Anyone else have this experience?

USB directly into board not hub
