Re: [Scottish] DVDrw drives - advice?

[Georgia Thomson]

steer WELL clear of the sony one.  my mate had a hard enough time 
getting it to work. it reads media fine, but is apparently very fussy 
with what media it will write to, both CD and DVD.  other than that, i 
dont know about any of them.  I have a Pioneer DVR-105 and have had no 
problems with it/

Hi folks,

I'm in the happy position of being able to buy a DVD writer - 
weyhey!!! But...

I need it to work with Win ME  and SuSE 8.2 on a dual boot system. **  
It will
be used mainly for video writing and file system backups.

Can anyone give advice or recommend known good drives out there which 
would
fit the bill? As far as I can see, the lists suggest that any ATAPI 
DVDwriter
should work, so I should be OK.

My shortlist is:
  Sony DWU 14A
  Asus DRW0402P
  Optorite DD0401
  Liteon  LDW-401S
Of these, the Sony gives the greatest heartache - great reputation for 
build
and reliability, shocking reputation for compliance to standards.

Open to suggestions!

TIA,
Neil.
