SCSI and cd rewritable drives questions

[CraZy_MAn]

About the scsi, see, my mobo is a bh6 and doesn't have scsi slots. I saw those pci cards where it lets you plug in the scsi counterparts, i was wondering if it is as good. I'm sure it is, i'm just paranoid. Also, CD-R drives, what is the best out there, so far, i think it may be the yamaha 16x4x4 SCSI one, but it's way too expensive. Well, at least not on the internet. Thanks in advance.

For the most part, motherboards with onboard SCSI use the SCSI controller chips designed and manufactured by Adaptec. Adaptec is synonymous with SCSI. The performance of PCI SCSI cards, which are available from Adaptec and other manufacturers, are identical to the performance of the onboard SCSI controllers that are found on motherboards. The manufacturers of the motherboard can give the user the added feature of SCSI at a lower cost, by implementing it onto their boards. Opposed to the individual going out and buying a separate SCSI card with similar features.

Having said this, buying a separate SCSI card (preferably with advanced features like Ultra2 support, but not necessary for only a CD-RW) lets the user transfer the card onto new motherboard at a future time.

There is no need for concern over performance issues. Let alone, paranoia.

As to which drive... I've always liked Plextor. Teac will give as good performance or better, however, the build quality is much like the rest...
