We need to purchase a DVD drive for backup. We are running 5.1 RELEASE. We have USB IDE and SCSI on this fairly new system. There are no USB devices being used now and only a CD Drive and single harddrive on the IDE. I read the compatibility notes and searched Google for the wide range of devices available. So far it appears that querying or searching this list *Before* purchase is the best way to avoid days of messing around ;-). Can anyone offer an opinion as to which type of DVD burner would present the least possible hassle in installation? What I'm hoping for, is to install it, make a new kernel and simply use it to write complete CD snapshots to store offsite. TIA, Chris
