I have a Yamaha 4416e ide version of your scsi. It'll be 2 years old in
October and still running strong(knock on wood). Either get a Plextor or
Yamaha, rated #1 & #2 respectively. As far as IDE v. SCSI, their isn't much
difference in linux and they are equalably reliable. Any other brand is a
crap shoot. Most are made by other manufacturers and are re-boxes. But then
again, you might buy a $75 USD cdrw and it'll last for years, then again, it
could fail the day after it's warranty expires.YMMV
