i have heard that these two drives are simular.. i heard that they both support CloneCD and Disc Juggler. can you please tell me if there are some differenes that would make you buy one rather than the other. differences as far as copying all types of cd's and games (copy protected included). there are so many drives on the market now, its hard to determine which one i should or should not buy.

I didn't buy that Plextor model because the Yamaha spec was better suited to CloneCD (particularly as regards writing sub-channel data).

Either of the 2 Yammies would be great (I chose 2100) and SCSI is best because you avoid channel contention. But then you need a SCSI card. If you choose EIDE, remember to place the burner on the secondary IDE channel so it doesn't slow the hard disk.

Also the 2100 is faster (16x10x40) than that Plextor.
