I have 2 dvd burners, one ATAPI and one SATA. SATA has been nothing but
problems in linux under Debian. Maybe its just Debian isn't capable of
dealing with SATA optical drives without maintaining your own kernel. I
have no idea, I've given up asking the debian list and
linuxquestions.org about it.

IMHO, I would stay away from an SATA DVD Burner (in Linux) for now.
Just buy a good NEC, SONY, or Plextor IDE burner and it will just work.
I've seen the NEC on Newegg for as little as $55. I have a Plextor 716A
and it works great.
