I work for a large retailer, and we were sent 4 of these things to test to see if we wanted to sell them. 2 were parallel, and 2 were IDE. Believe it or not, the parallel were much faster than the IDE (I got about 25 megs/minute with the parallel vs. about 8 with the IDE), so these things have some issues. It was fast to write to, but not from. Get a HD or CDRW/DVD-RAM if you're looking for MP3 storage... this drive is not the answer.
