The two top dogs in the CD-R and RW spotlight at the moment are Yamaha
and Plextor, had a problem with a Teac 24X IDE (sound files), use a
Plextor 12/20Plex CAV. now, can't be beat for a SCSI CD-ROM.  The lastest
scoop from PCWorld is that the new 32X's aren't worth the money.

BTW. If you go for the Plexwriter or the top of the line Yamaha RW, be
prepared to spend as much as $700.00.
