What would folks recommend as a good 4X scsi cdrom for FreeBSD [I'm assuming that the 4x vs 2x performance data (Windoze derived) generally holds true for FreeBSD also ?] I'd like to spend no more than $200 - I found a Sanyo CRD-254SH 4x for $169 but have no idea if it would be a good drive. I know that the equivalently low priced Teac 4x scsi is supposed to suck big time. Or would people recommend paying extra and going with the more expensive Toshiba/Maxstor units. Primarily going to be using the cdrom for WC/FreeBSD installs and for /usr/src (which I currently have on scsi hard disc). Perhaps some Windoze95 use also. thanks tony
