Not to tout the 'competition', but www.macintouch.com has lots of reader letters on this same subject. Most of them say the QPS and the Sony units have had some problems, but are getting better, especially with firmware releases, etc.
Firewire drives by nature are expensive. I'm currently borrowing a Zip650 USB and it performs flawlessly at 4x. If you're not worried about speed and need to save money, you could do a lot worse - it runs for $249 or less.
I'm personally saving for the new Yamaha FW drive - we have SCSI Yamahas at work for our PCs and they have never done us wrong.

I bought a Plextor 12x10x32 with BurnProof and put it in a ADS Pyro Firewire case. Works great. It has been recommanded many times in the Drive Compatibility Database at www.xlr8yourmac.com.

Get a Yamaha FireWire drive... they are, without a doubt, the best.
I have a SCSI Yamaha, and its awesome - never a prob, does everything I want it to, easily.

I'm using a Sony Spressa (firewire) 10-4-32 (their newer version is faster) with Toast 4.1.1 (full version) and love it. Haven't had any problems at all. I always burn to Sony discs, data, audio and bootable discs.

I bought a Yamaha CRW8824FXZ (Firewire) a week ago. No problems, no coasters. Toast seems to get trashed a lot here, but I have not had a problem. I have not recorded any music, but a lot of data/photos/movies.
I would recommend it to anyone considering a CD/RW.

Jeffnudi, are you running the OEM version of Toast? If so get the Deluxe version.
BTW, this should be in Peripherals...

Yes, OEM version that came with the CD/RW. I was planning to buy something else, but based on all of the discussion about Toast and CDMaster that has been going on, I thought I would wait a while before doing anything. What advantages are there to Deluxe?

What's the best CD Burning software out there. I just got the Yamaha 8x8x24 firewire burner and it RULES. Toast OEM seems fine to me so far, what's so much better about Deluxe and CDMaster?
