Do drives like the nec 3520 dvd-r,rw,... work ok under freebsd 4.x (9 or 10)
as well as  growisofs or do they require the 5.x branch?

Last but least does rw media have good (or as good as r only media) longevity 
on the shelf (aka if the media is used for backups?). It seems that r and rw
media is near the same price point?

Thanks,
Alan
