A stack of four quad-speed CD-ROM drives (from top to bottom): TEAC America'
s SuperQuad, Toshiba's XM-3501B, Plextor's 4Plex, and NEC Technologies' MultiSpin 4Xe. List prices with host adapter range between $549 and $645. The TEAC drive uses a proprietary AT interface compatible with some Sound Blaster cards; the other three are SCSI drives. The NEC is an external unit (internal also available); the others are internal. The Plextor and Toshiba drives provided the best performance.
