I don't have a problem burning at 4x with an inferior Kouwell 10MB/s SCSI card.
I have a Yamaha CRW4416, which has slightly faster speeds than the CRW4260 but
also a larger cache I think.
I've heard internal can be slightly more reliable, probably because they get
moved less and get slightly better power. Slightly cheaper, as well.
I've heard Plextor are good, particularly for readers.
