CD - CDR - CDRW - DVD Combo

[andrey]

Whatcha think about this one?
Toshiba Drive Kit
Does anybody have it? If you do, would you recommend it?
Also, on the side note, does anybody make this sweet combo in SCSI flavor ?

i know Ricoh makes one drive like this (8x4x32, with a 6x dvd i think...i'm not sure)that seems to be pretty good. it's ide though. i don't think there are any scsi models of these drives.

I don't know of any SCSI models like that, their usually IDE because their made for the budget minded people that still want/need CD Writing and DVD abilities but don't want to pay for two separate drives and IDE is cheaper than SCSI.

budget minded people or people who ran out of room in their ATX case, hehe

heh, on the cnet tests, it preforms 2k's a sec less then the HP 8x4x burnner....so its pretty fast. i have it i do burns in 10min, and rewrites in about 13min its good enough for me.

Ricoh has/will be announcing a 12x/10x/32x/8x combo drive in the near future. It already shows up on Buy.com. I had read a PDF on Ricoh's site that claimed this drive had something better than BURNProof. I haven't been able to find it again.

These are nice, but I think you're better off with seperate
CD-RW and DVD-ROM. That gives you the capability to dupe CD's
directly. The cost is approximately the same as well.

I would recommending buying them seperate, but if you want a combo, the upcomming Rioch looks good

You can still dupe disc with only one drive. In the case of these drives, it'll take, what?, a whopping 5 minutes more?
