Once again I appreciate everyone's input. I agree ATAPI can be used for certain scenarios and it can work well. Since in the future I will be burning discs with some sort of medium changer (jukebox) and I will be burning multiple DVD-Rs simultaneously (via multiple drives) IDE is just not a solution that will provide for my future growth (though based on people's input it could be a short term solution).
In addition, with ATAPI I don't know of anyway to get the drive external from the actual PC. As I stated earlier I have valid concerns about temperature and vibration from the PC. Are those of you using the Pioneer A03 with IDE at least happy with it? Does it seem like a solid drive? --- Joerg Schilling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Bill Davidsen) > > >I see no particular joy to using SCSI for this > unless you are out of IDE > >controllers and slots for Promise or similar > supported additional > >controllers.
