SCSI or IDE BurnProof?

Before burnproof tech came out, scsi is alot better because its considered burnproof in a way,

now, the burnproof tech, is it better then scsi, or is scsi still better.

I have a slow scsi burner, and since there r so many deals on the new&faster ide burnproof drive available, its kinda hard for me to decide to upgrade or not, since my drive still works flewlessly, never had a problem with it,

I have a 4x mitsumi scsi cdr, and a teac 32x cd rom, should i switch to a ide?
is burnproof technology really does wat it says, if so, then its better then scsi rite,
does it mean i can other stuff on my comp while copying a cd or something,

please give me some suggestions since I always thought scsi is alot better then ide cdr drives, but now im not so sure anymore after this burnproof tech came out.

Thank you, any input would be appreciated: )
 
Being very one track minded, I prefer to stick with SCSI. Yes, Burnproof is supposed to be very good, however I like to be able to play games, surf the net, etc etc without any bandwidth reduction due to the burning taking place on the SCSI interface rather than an IDE one.

Now I'm not saying IDE burners with Burnproof can't do this, but SCSI 4 me and the way my system is set up is the better option IMO.

It's difficult because I'm in the same predicament as u what with all these 20x and especially the 24x Plextor that has been released. IDE though. 🙁 Now if it were SCSI I'd have one straight away. However, you have to ask why is it that Plextor seem to have shifted their direction and started producing more IDE Burners. I remember them saying they were not distributing SCSI to Europe anymore, something like that anyway, perhaps someone can shed a little light on the matter.

Tough decision. 😉
 
If you already own a decent scsi interface card then you can just go for the scsi with BP. Of course, they cost a little more than their IDE siblings. But if your scsi interface is a little too old like SCSI2, then you're probably better off with the IDE version. It's all about how much you want to spend.😎
