We use CDR drives professionally for DAE (digital audio extraction)
and writing session discs for clients; and in my experience we've
discovered (sometimes the hard way) that we won't recommend anything
but a Plextor drive.  Even Yamaha drives haven't provided the same
reliable, error-free operation.

When it comes to DAE, most readers don't even correctly use error
correction.  And few (if any) other drives extract CDDA as quickly as
they do digital data.

I can't offer advice on ATAPI (or USB -- shudder) drives, but I
wouldn't trade our 12/10/32S drives for anything but the new
PlexWriter 40/12/40S...
