Which ones were you looking at?

The main burners going at the Installfest were mine & Chris', and they
were only interrupted once when the power died.

As for speed, depends on what it's labeled as - an 8x SCSI writer is
not going to be any faster than an 8x IDE (1.2MB/s)

Also I've copied many CD's disc->disc from an old 24x IDE CDROM to my 8x
IDE CDRW (at 8x) and never had a single failure due to buffer underruns.

I really don't see the justification for paying the extra to go SCSI,
unless you're running that other OS
