#Look for a unit
Been looking over some of the threads concerning CD Mastering unit for
purchase for my own company.
In the past I have used a CDD521 { non upgraded } with CDGEN and
CDWRITE { dos based versions }.
I am wondering if any one has the info on the following questons. The threads
come close but still need more info.
ONE:
Are the 1,500 to 2,000 dollar unit good for backup, audio only cd, Mix mode {
data & audio }, Multisession. The number per month is less than 50 disk.
TWO:
Which is better CD CREATER or GEAR. Or is there a better low cost one.
THREE:
Do you really need SCSI or will a fast EIDE of <10ms in the 800mb or better
range do? I do know about the AV style drive but when I was using the CDD521 I
used a 1.3gb SCSI full height hard drive using a pair of 1542 Adaptic
controllers. How much buffer {256k/512k/1mb, etc} do you need? Nortons rate the
drives I like to use at over 1800kb per second. Do not minded building an
immage to burn a disk.
FOUR:
The system uses will be a P90 with 32mb of ram using a Plato Motherboard.
FIVE:
What type of ram is use with the drive that can be upgraded?
SIX:
How are the new Sony new write drive working. Can you read audio data across
its data connector. I know the new Sony's 4x EIDE readers can, but was
wondering if the new write unit can? Is it possible to buy the drive by its
self? I build custom software and computers for people and know my way around
different systems.
As stated about any info would be nice.
