Michael, the drives I have are PATA (IDE) interface drives, TSST CDDVDW SH-S222L drives. I dont' think they make them any more. I have them as they will burn audio CD-R's at 8X speed. Anything above that can be iffy or not play at all on old audio CD players. As my clients sell their CD's at concerts and who knows what the buyers will use the 8X is safe. Higher burned speeds on old players can either not play or will skip.
The drives are each in a USB enclosure. I couldn't find a multiple drive enclosure that will work with the PATA interface drives.
I only use JVC/Taiyo Yuden ink jet printable CD-R's. I have a Primera Bravo SE disc printer (will hold 20 CD's at a time). The only negative on the printer is the high cost of the ink and the amount of ink used per disc on ones with a lot of color or pictures.
I do a lot of disc production. In the past two weeks I've done two 50 CD orders, a 32 CD order, and two 25 CD orders.
