>> The problem with CD-R is that it is slow and a resource hog. << Very true, even 4x is not fast enough! >> drag & drop with CD-R isn't exactly the same as that with other fixed/removable drives. The underlying problem is that of the buffer-underrun. << Buffer-underrun is not possible during packet-writing. It usually occurs on Track-at-Once and Disc-at-Once writing (ie: CD Mastering). With new generation of CD Mastering and burning s/w, even a EIDE HDD+CDR can reliably burns CD without any problem... in a multi-tasking environment too! >> The biggest drawback of CD-R, however, is the cost of ownership. << I don't see why CDR is more expensive than Jaz, although they designed for different purpose. You can get a good EIDE CDR kit for less than $300 while the CD-RW is $50 to $100 more. This includes the Adaptec Easy CD Creator 3.0! BTW, I don't mean CD-R is a zip or floppy replacement. They used for different purposes. aC
