Best SCSI burner

[fargo 0]

I got an unexpected sack of money (close enough) and I'm thinking about buying a CD burner (SCSI). What do you recommend and why?

I suggest you check out Plextor's line of cdr/rw burners at http://www.plextor.com/english/products/product_cdrw_drives.html

 

I use a couple of their drives in my machines and love the performance and reliability I have received from them.

I am using the Plextor 12/4/32 SCSI CD RW and have had no problems with it. I am very impressed with its performance and pleased with the quality of the product. I have always bought Plextor drives, whether it be SCSI CD Roms, or SCSI CDRW, or even IDE CDRW. Plextor has always been my favorite, I own 3 different Plextor drives and they are all very good, I have never had a problem with any of them. I'm sure that pther will agree.

I would suggest the PLextor 12/10/32 with burn-proof technologie.

hehe, they even doubled the buffer size over same burner's IDE version ... should be available soon in the US.

Last week I got my sweaty hands on a Sanyo BurnProof 3 SCSI burner, it and it is increcible. It burns at 12x and with latest CDR-Win I can enable burn-proof in win2k, and oh man does it work well! I copied like 600mb+ of files to the HD that had the files I was burning, and I got buffer underruns all the time

 

But it just started up again all the times and the CD was completed succesfully!

 

Great Burner, it is mostly the same as the Plextor ones, just a different name.

 

I could only find a 12x/4x/32x SCSI from plextor, but I found a Sanyo/Brain Wave (online store said Sanyo, but box says Brain Wave) 12/10/32

 

Great buy, but the included software dont support Burnproof in win2k, you must get latest CD-Rwin, for now. They say they will support it in the near future but I dont belive it before I can download it.

Hi,

Are you desperate to buy now or can you wait about a month?

Yamaha are releasing a beast of a CD-RW.

16x Write, 10x Re-Write, 40x Read.

Pre-order prices here in the UK have this thing cheaper than the Plextor models.

Although it doesn't impliment the official 'BURN-Proof' system, it uses it's own which prevents buffer underruns.

Also this drive has an 8MB buffer - trust me, this is never going to burn you a coaster.

Take a look here: http://cd-recording.yamaha.de/england/index.html

 

I currently own an old Yamaha 4/4/16 but I shall probably be upgrading to one of these.
