They look just like any other disk drive, I haven't had a problem

The thing to watch out for is drives like some western digitals which
come with an insanely annoying artifical "cdrom" as part of the
drive. It isn't really a cdrom, so it confuses things that
expect it to be one and clutters your desktop with phony icons,
and there is no way I've found to just make it disappear.
I was leery of the WD drive discription:
