Hi there,

I'm currently in the market for buying a new CD-R for my pc. It has in it at the moment, a broken panasonic 8x4 scsi(only working as 8x read SCSI), and i am not sure if i should buy an IDE drive or another SCSI drive.
I know that back in the good 'ole days, IDE burners were a risk, but surely now the IDE technology has caught up a bit?????
I allready have a SCSI card, so that cuts out part of the initial expense if I go with SCSI, but I want to be able to take it out, as my pc can run perfectly stable at 133fsb, but the SCSI card won't go past 112.
So you see, I only really wan't to go with SCSI if there is a largely noticeable advantage over IDE......also if anyone could reccomend a (few???) decent mid range drives, t'would be great.

cheers,

...pdm

here is the low down with SCSI you can Burn and still use your system for othere things at the same time

with IDE forget using your system while your burnning if you do not want to make coasters http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I got the Yamaha 8x4x24 SCSI - very nice.

Since you already have the SCSI card ...
