Hi all,

I don't know whether SCSI CDROM is suitable fo rme. Can anyone give me some tips?

I always need to copy VCD from CDROM to Harddisk for video editing. I found the speed of copy for normal CDRom is a little bite slow. I would like to know can SCSI CDROM increase the speed of copy a lot? Is it just like copy from harddisk to harddisk? Any comments are welcome. Thanks.

I don't think so. The bottleneck is not on the interface, it is on how the drive read your CD. I doubt if you switch to SCSI you will notice a difference.

So how the drive read the CD can make it faster?

SCSI CD-ROM is worth it, not for a server of course but for a personal computer. Maybe I am bit biased, I am an old SCSI addict :cool: but I notice the difference.
If you use an IDE system make sure that your hard disk on the CD drive is not on the same IDE channel, the CD will slow the hard disk.
