CentOS - Jul 2007 - DVD Drive Recommendations

Alle,

	Our customer is looking for a drive with the following specs that works 
(but is not necessarily supported by the vendor, that would be gravy) on 
CentOS4/5:

DVD hyper multidrive, capable of reading and writing DVD-R, DVD-RW, 
DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R for DL, and DVD+R DL.

	The HP DVD940e (USB 2.0, but that is *not* a requirement, 
http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/desktop/dvd_writers/1/storefronts/RX901AA%2523ABA)
was suggested but we are not familiar with it at all.

	Does anyone have any suggestions/experience they wish to share?

Best Regards,
Camron
