I'm looking into one of 4 IDE quad spin drives. I wish to know which brand 
and model is the best buy considering they are all equally priced. I've 
quoted the blurb as advertised with this company. From the below info 
(providing it is correct) the  Pioneer looks the best buy. I'll probably be 
connecting this to a Sound Blaster16 VIBRA IDE sound card. Can anyone offer 
opinions on the combination of one of the drives below + this soundcard?

Any help is appreicated. Please e-mail me if possible.

Panasonic CR581K - Quad spin, multisession, Photo CD & XA compliant, 180ms 
access, and up to 600 kb/sec Data transfer rates

Sony CDU76E-K - Quad spin, multisession, photo CD & XA compliant, IDE 
interface with xfer rates up to 600 k/bytes sustained and 8.3Mb burst, tray 
loading

NEC CDR272K - IDE, Quad spin, multisession, photo CD & XA compliant, 600 
kb/sec data transfer, 250 ms access time. 256kb cache, includes: data/audio 
cables and driver's disk.

Pioneer DRUA124xK - IDE, 614 kb/sec sustained data transfer rate, 110 random 
seek time (average at quad speed), 150 ms random access time (average at 
quadruple speed), 128kb cache. Inc all cables.
