Nearly any CDRW drive should work. My only suggestions is to advoid
liteon. I've seen many problems with liteon drives having problems
spining up to speed.

I have a DVD+CDRW combo that works nicely. It will flake occasionally
if hw.ata.atapi_dma=1. Forget what type and dmesg just shows it as
CDRW <ATAPI COMBO48XMAX/VER 1.10>, but it is nice.

I also have a nice Toshiba DVDR drive. In dmesg it shows up as DVDR
<TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R5272/1030>.  It great. Not had any problem with
it what so ever. I would really suggest in looking into a drive like
this. More room, fast, and pretty cheap now.
