[Scottish] DVDrw drives - advice?

[ray]

Prices have just fallen a bit, which may affect the choice.  Two weeks ago I got a BTC unit:
BTC DRW1008IM     1pc   GBP 68.00
the price is trade, vat + delivery would probably take a retail price nearer £90.

Quoted write  speeds:
8x DVD+R; 4x DVD-R, DVD+RW; 2X DVD-RW; 40x CD-R; 24x CD-RW

Don't know about MS Win*, but it comes with Nero.  I have used it for data DVD, CD and audio CD recording without problems, it has just worked: SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.2, k3b (everything updated).
