Could be the inverse of the phenomenon Rick was mentioning, but this time you have to convince yourself that the mucho extra money you plunked on a SCSI drive was worth it. :-) I've been using SCSI CD-writers and CD-ROM drives until lately and they've been nothing but trouble. The extra circuitry seems to create a new point of failure and that could be why they conk out early. And with regards to CD burning, Burn-proof further alleviates the need for using a SCSI CDR-writer to minimize underruns due to lower CPU utilization. > But very few people use SCSI in two-drive configurations. Okay, so in a two-drive config, SCSI offers too few advantages. But in a RAID config, what advantage does it again confer considering that IDE RAID ala 3Ware eliminates the lower bus contention advantage that SCSI has? Seems to me like SCSI is definitely on the wane. It just doesn't offer many advantages anymore. As a sidenote, it doesn't look like Plextor will release a SCSI version of their 40x CD-R writer, instead releasing a USB 2.0 and Ultra ATA versions. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
