Geoges, On a related topic, It has come to my attention that Maxtor has an IDE drive called the 7850AV. This is the first I hear of a non-SCSI AV drive. This would be good as I would save an expansion slot and the cost of the SCSI controller. Although…

It has come to my attention that Maxtor has an IDE drive (7850AV). This is the first I hear of a non-SCSI AV drive. This would be good as I would save an expansion slot and the cost of the SCSI controller. Any comments? DON

This is the first I hear of an AV friendly IDE drive. All I have heard of are SCSI. What is your source stating that this drive is AV friendly? DON (In market for a drive also)

Jerry, I will get either a 2 meg buffer or the SCSI AV drive. I suspect the buffer option will be somwhat cheaper in the short run. Thanks, DON

Peter, Thanks for explaning how this works, I am new to this field (as I suspect are many people writing about it). I suppose the safest thing for people to say is "get a SCSI AV drive". I would like to quote portions recent articles, which are a source of…

Jerry I posted this question in a few hard drive forums: FYI I got a technical reply from the Seagate forum which states that AV friendly drives should be used whenever large files are transferred. Basically they said I need one. DON PS I didn't want to repost someone else's…

Charles, I did some research at Seagate and for your info, the drive you have operates by delaying thermal recalibration (which could corrupt the CD-R process) until a non-critical (non read-write) situation. The tech person could not guarantee however that it would work with all CD-R drives. This drive is…
