Alle,
Our customer is looking for a drive with the following specs that works (but is not necessarily supported by the vendor, that would be gravy) on CentOS4/5:
DVD hyper multidrive, capable of reading and writing DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R for DL, and DVD+R DL.
The HP DVD940e (USB 2.0, but that is *not* a requirement, http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/desktop/dvd_writers/1/storefronts/RX901AA...) was suggested but we are not familiar with it at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions/experience they wish to share?
Best Regards, Camron

I've used an Optiarc to burn all that in Linux, some with cdrecord some with NeroLinux. Optiarc is a joint NEC/Sony company. DVD drives/burners are commodity these days with standard interfaces.

not many support dvd-ram, however, which was buried in his list.
otherwise, I'd say any $34.95 LiteOn or LG drive could do all the rest of that without a hitch, SATA or PATA.

LG ones usually do DVD-RAM. It's one of their sales slogan.

I'm using a Samsung SH-S182D under FC6 and having good luck with it. It supports DVD-RAM at 12X, though I've never have used DVD-RAM on it, so can't specifically talk to that, but DVD-R, DVD-RW and CD-R work well on it.

But the Optiarchs that supports Lightscribe also supports DVD-RAM. So the NEC AD-5170 does not support DVD-RAM, but the NEC AD-7173 does.
My point was more that you just find a DVD-burner with the specs you need and it should work. I have used Plextor, Sony, NEC and Optiarc over the last year or so and I have not detected any functional differences in use in linux, apart from the different feature sets and speeds.
