SATA or Eide on DVD rw choices (internal unit).
Any cheap DVD rw that have success writing to
the many forms of rw DVDS, that one
would recommend?
Any bands (plextor?) to avoid on gentoo?
Instead of recommending what I have, I'll recommend what disc burning
lunatics recommend (the folks from cdfreaks.com for example): The LG LS
GH20LS15 is an excellent burner with very good write quality (read: your
discs will live longer). It's a CD/DVD+R/DVD-R/Dual Layer combo burner.
It's also very cheap (16 bucks here; that is Euros). It's a SATA drive.
If you can't find the exact model, any LG model with "GH20" in the name
will do. Make sure NOT to get a "GH22" model (like GH22LS30). Those
have poor write quality due to a different chipset that doesn't perform
well.
