DVD Burning on Tru64 v5.1A

We have an ES40 and would like to run a DVD burner on it.  The question
is...

Would people recommend an IDE or SCSI drive ?  
(I've never tried to put an IDE unit in my ES40 but I know it should be
able to run them, given compatibility with HW or software)

If you have this type of solution in place what are your experiences,
good or bad ? 


I've combed the list archives and could not find a definitive answer.
