I've never experience a problem burning CDs either.
Just the 16X DVD's (The 50 pack thing I bought is TDK - I then bought a 
single 16X Phillips and a single 16X some brand I had never heard of - 
same issue)

The burner is an 8X but Linux only ever did 4X even when requesting 8X. 
4x was (and still is) fine for me.
It's a Sony DRU710A.

I think I may go SATA burner just to get rid of the darned ribbon cable 
in the case, it's my last ATA device in that box.
