SCSI CDRW Drives

[RWise]

Can someone recommend a descent SCSI CDRW Drive. It needs to be fairly cheap (pref <£200UK), it probably wont be used that often and mainly only to transfer files between home and work. It will be used with an Iwill SIDE 2930U SCSI adapter (AdvanSys). I have looked at the Plextor drives but they are too expensive in UK, other possibilities were HP 9210i and Ricoh 7060S, please give comments on these drives.

See if you can find an Imation. It is a genuine Plextor drive just packaged and sold by Imation. It costs quite a bit less.

I'm happy with my Yamaha 8424S - it was under £200 about 4 months ago, no doubt it will be cheaper now.

Actually, now I think about it, the Plextor 8/4/32 was only £25 more than the yamaha - in retrospect I should have gone for the plextor.

I'm not a great fan of HP CDR drives. HP don't make them, but rebadge them. Currently they seem to favour Sony, but have used several other manufacturers in the past. HP also seems to not to offer support for their drives, eg. firmware updates to fix bugs/add new features, even though the original manufacturer of the drive regularly releases updates.
