I should have searched the forum before strting a new topic. I found the threads I was looking for but more feedback is always appreciated. Noise is of more concern to me than the ripping speed, which seems to be the opposite for most people. Id much rather get the less noisier but either way, I can't make a bad decision. Both seem to make great drives. Thanks
BTW, is there a way to attach my CDRW and my soon-to-be-shipped DVD-ROM to the sound card? Do I need a splitter or something?
