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
