Q. I'm told SCSI cd-writers are better than IDE under FreeBSD.
Any SCSI device is more efficent than IDE devices because
SCSI devices run from the SCSI BUS which is not the same BUS as the CPU thats
because it has taken off the load from the CPU and therefore leaves more processing power..

any questions?

At the office, we have 2 Compro 7502's (4x read, 2x write I think),
and they work great.  If I recall correctly, they use Panasonic innards.
We bought that brand because they were one of the first to supply free
hardware to the author of cdrecord.

At home, I have a newer Yamaha 6416S (6x4x16) which also works with
no problems.  It does CDR and CDRW's (though I don't know what the
state of CDRW support is in FreeBSD).
