Both drives are amongst the most popular around, for the reason that they
give the least trouble. The LiteOn in particular offers impressive value for
money.

If money is not an issue, then I would recommend the Plextor SCSI 121032S
drive. This is built to last, and offers outstanding audio performance - and
you already have a SCSI interface. It will also write at 4x on suitable
media. Note though that with more recent faster drives and media that you
will probably not produce the optimum burn performance at low speed.

Current fast IDE drives frequently produce their best performance at much
higher speeds - I would suggest fast enough to avoid burnproof cutting in
(circa 12x - 16x)

Burnproof is an essential feature of the fastest drives and activates to
prevent error loss as the drives 'change gear' to burn at progressively
faster speeds across the disc.
