SCSI DVD recorders?
Has ne-1 come across a DVD recorder with the following specs: - SCSI interface - slot-in load - internal mounted (external is OK too) - 4 to 8 Mb buffer - dual-layer recording (single is OK too) I'm looking for SCSI for the writing speed but should I maybe go for external FireWire if the speed is comparable? |

You are looking for SCSI for the writing speed? The ATA connection is already much faster than any DVD writing speed we will ever see. If you are looking for the other advantages of SCSI over ATA (higher effiency), then SATA is your best bet. I know of one: Plextor 716SA (it also has 8 MB cache and does DVD+R/DL, but not slot-in). External Firewire drives are simply ATA drives in a Firewire-connected external case. Slot-loaded burners are now few and far between. Plextor has them (716AL), but not SATA-connected. SB |

SCSI DVD recorders?
Sorry, I meant read speed. Thanks for the heads-up about Firewire. I'll see what I can find in the way of SATA drives. Sounds like the way to go. The slot- load, of course, eliminates the extra steps of opening, mounting, closing a tray so would be nice to have. "Spam Buster" wrote: |

The only slot loading *RECORDER* that I'm aware of is (or was) made by Plextor (PX-716AL). It's an IDE/ATAPI drive but you can purchase a generic ATAPI/SCSI adapter card to convert it to work with a SCSI controller. http://www.plextor.com/english/products/716AL.htm It's a 16x single layer +/- burner, and a 6x dual layer burner. WARNING: It's expensive. MSRP is 179 USD and based on a quick scan of local pricing, street price isn't far off for this model. --------------------------------------------- Thanks. MCheu |
