Yamaha F-1 is the best CDR(W) burner available currently, and as Yamaha declared itself out of the CDR/DVD business you can probably get it at a fair price (=slightly less than 100$).
Normally one can get a Lite-On burner for less than that, but having the gem of burners for a decent price does not harm, does it?

As a rule of thumb, the scsi components were more expensive and were built to be more reliable and durable. So if you're torn between ide and scsi, I'd surely pick the latter.

But then it's hard to know how a second-hand drive was used. Question the seller minutely on the subject.
