An article in the local free computer mag here quite a few months ago rated CDRW drives, specifically with Linux in mind. They rated Yamaha tops, followed by Plextor. At the time I could not find a cheap Yamaha locally, but a got a slightly better than average deal on a Plextor. Admittedly I am not using it under Linux, but it has produced far less "coasters" than the old HP CD-Writer 7200 that my company bought for my work machine.

They have 3 CD-RW drives on sale. What do people think of them? $100 (after rebates) Acer 12x8x32 Internal CD-RW , part number in ad: CRW1208A $200 Iomega 4x4x6 USB CD-RW , part number in ad: 31475 $250 Yamaha 16x10x40 CD-RW , part number in ad: CRW2100EZ If I get the Yamaha, I can get 128MB PC13 RAM for free (after rebates) I don't know if the part numbers in the ad are for the store (useless) or for the manufacturer (useful). What do people think of these drives? Does anyone have any experience with any of them? This sale ends tomorrow, but I don't _need_ to get a drive immediately.
