Most new stuff is IDE. Since the introduction of ATA 133
and SATA drives, SCSI is no longer really needed (maybe
in a server system) and the price difference between a IDE
and a SCSI drive is enoumous (talking mostly HDD here).

If your looking for a plain drive. Have a look here at the
review:
http://www.cdrlabs.com/reviews/index.php?reviewid=60

Modell is LTD-163 (same as I am using). I believe the
newest model is the LTD-165

Lite-Ons also share high speed for ripping DVDs, CD,s
etc ;o))  31 Euros at Mindfactory (good sevice, nice guys
and okay when it comes to the price)

Oh, and of course the most important link ;o))
