I've pretty much decided that the problems I was seeing with my DVD drive are indeed hardware problems, so I was thinking of upgrading to the latest and greatest multi-format wizz-bang drive I can find, and I see all the newer dvd writers seem to be exclusively sata interfaces these days.
Do sata dvd writers work OK in fedora?
Specifically I'm looking at the Samsung SH-S203N - anyone used one in fedora?
Thanks for any info.
(I know, it doesn't do blu-ray and HD-DVD - I don't really want to go that wizz-bang just yet, but the double layer stuff might be useful sometimes :-).
Got one of those last week! Used it several times and it has worked flawlessly. I've got mine connected to an Asus A8N-E w/ nForce4 chipset. I've pretty much only used K3B for burning but have also used it with VirtualBox and an XP vm for ripping to HD for my MythTV box as the internal DVD player and even Xine sometimes seem to choke on some of the copy protection used today.
