Some times ago, I used a little program to measure the speed of a cdrom. Asus 50x EIDE = 24/25x when I was lucky. Once it reached only 8x, because CPU had something better to do. Plextor 40X SCSI = 41,5x was ALWAYS my best... The performance was always the same.
The issue is more than just SCSI vs. IDE; it's Asus vs. Plextor, and Plextor is almost guaranteed to make better CDR(W) / ROM drives.
Not completely. Asus is one of the best CD-ROM EIDE unit I have seen around. And my tests were done with the same CD, always: why should the cdrom be faster or slower on a CD, if not because of the CPU getting stressed?
That's why I have a Plextor 12/10/32S CDRW drive, with which I am extremely satisfied (25X-30X ripping w/ Linux 2.4.16). I went for SCSI over IDE because I doubt my machine (233 Pentium I MMX w/ 32MB of RAM) could handle the load on its IDE bus during burning at 12X.
Yes you are right.... I got a friend of mine with an 8x Cd-rw and he can only go at 4x without risking uverruns... Praise
