Dunno why you'd think it offtopic, but lots of Debian users use DVD
drives. :)
That said, I have an NEC dual-layer (IDE) - model ND-3520AW. I
purchased it from a local (sunnyvale CA) outfit called Surplus
Computers for $50. I've had it working well for about a year now.
It's a nice drive, although I did have to flash its BIOS - that made it
able to recognize a much larger variety of media, as well as burn them
up to 16x speed.
I do have trouble from time to time on _some_ RW media - burning works
fine, but trhying to read the same disk a few weeks or months later
sometimes results ni lots of bad sectors. This could easily be a
storage/media issue (given my environment) than a hardware issue with
the burner.
