Plextor and TDK have the 16X units out now. If I remember correctly, these two were rated higher then the Yamaha unit, though I think only the Yamaha is currently available with a SCSI interface. I would get the Plextor if it is available w/ SCSI or wait for it to be.

Whatever you're looking at getting, be sure to check the websites of the burning software you like to use to make sure it's supported! Don't want any nasty suprises, eh?

I love my Plextors... don't have a 16x, but would be going there if I needed a new one.

I have the Yamaha 16x and use Nero with it and I love it. I have also used Adaptec with it and it is slightly faster than Nero. I can burn a 650Mb data cd in under 3 1/2 minutes. The Yamaha drive rocks!

P.S. One drawback to this drive is an annoyingly loud vibrating that occurs after the burn is complete if you allow the drive to spin up.

Check out CDRINFO for reviews of some 16x drives.

Plextor here

but have read articals that say the Ricoh is nipping on their heels.

Everything else is crap.

Wait & get a Plextor 16x. The Yamaha is also a viable alternative.

I don't think you would go wrong with either the Plextor or the Yamaha...
