Is the Tshiba 3301B a SCSI-2 drive? Are there 3301s that are not 3301Bs
that have different specs. Finally, how would you rate this drive as
compared to Sony and/or NEC models?
Yes, the XM-3301B is SCSI-2, and there are 3301A's also (B – internal, A –
external). This drive is 325ms, 64K buffer, XA , 150KB. This makes it
slower than the NEC, and faster than the Sony. Of course, the Nec is almost
impossible to get right now – everyone is back ordered. I was going to buy
the Nec CDR-84 internal, but couldn't find one at a decent price. I paid
$369+shipping for the Toshiba. I am very happy with the way it installed,
and when I get my first multimedia disks next week, I will let you know
about it's performance. Steve
