I own the Plextor PlexWriter 412 internal SCSI burner, and it's been
nothing short of 100% reliable. I use it for backups, and also
recording audio (cdda) cds of my own. The only CD that didn't burn
correctly was my own fault for not using the software correctly.
I've never burned under Windows, though.

Yup, that's exactly what I have. My SCSI cable was 68 pin, and the
burner had a 50 pin "port," but I just picked up an adapter.

Mine is internal, never had a problem with heat, and I leave my
computer on 24 hrs/day. Internal is cheaper.
