Does anyone have reliable information on hard-disk transfer speeds required for CD Recorders? Some time ago I heard a figure of about 300K per sec., but a thread I read last week says 1 MB / sec. I notice that fast SCSI-2 hard disks in the 1 GIG range put out from 2 to 4 MB per sec., depending on whether they are asynchronous (the default, I gather) or synchronous. The CDR I have in mind is the Phillips CDD-521, which is a doublespeed, though possibly also the Pinnacle, which is a singlespeed.
