Im using SCSI 40x CD ROM from Plextor and SCSI 15k IBM hard drive with Dual Atlon 2200 MPs and ripping CDs is very fast, usually it only takes less than 3 minutes. The SCSI Plextor drive is very noisy when ripping CDs.

I'm averaging about 4 minutes for a 70-minute album. I'm ripping AAC @ 160k, with error-correction enabled (this slows down the ripping).

CD ripping speed is almost entirely dependant on your optical drive's DAE speed. I can't think of a HD that couldn't keep up with the relatively small filesize of the average song. Now, encoding is another story. Dual Athlons are going to really cook in that aspect. As is the SCSI bus.

As for noise, I dunno why. Is it an older drive?

2 years old SCSI CD ROM, its only noisy when it continuously accessing a CD at a very fast speed like ripping CDs but when I put CD ROM games, its not that noisy. Its really good on ripping CDs, I read good reviews on this one before I bought it.

Yeah, I want a Plextor at some point. Plextools, for one. Supposedly it's even better than EAC at rescuing CD's.

But for now, I want a multi-format DVD burner. I want - for sure, + I don't really care about, but I want -RAM support. I have tons of stuff to backup (about 15GB currently), and 22 CD's ain't fun. 4 -RAM's, I can handle.
