The main reason is the CD-ROM interface. Creative Lab's interface is propietary - meaning you'll have to buy the CD-ROM's that are compatible with it if you intend to use the card this way. The PAS 16 has a SCSI-2 interface built in to the card. While it isn't fast enough to be used as a hard-disk controller, it is perfect for a SCSI compatible CD-ROM drive, scanner, etc. Just my $0.02 Nate
