Do you mean a real SCSI drive? or an emulated one? hdparm can set some options on a SCSI device, but things like DMA etc. are reserved for IDE only. This means you can't set DMA (or PIO etc.) on an IDE drive with SCSI emulation.
And you need DMA enabled to burn at 16X or higher. (I read this in an article, and I can't write above 12X on my writer, it seems the drive receives insufficient data to sustain the write, while the 20MB buffer in memory is 100% full).
