[wellylug] Using a SATA DVDRW with Linux

[Jamie Dobbs]

I'm looking to replace my current ATA DVDRW with a SATA LG GSA-H30N 18x 
Dual Layer DVD Rewriter. Is there anything I need to be aware of before 
doing this?
I am already running 2 SATA HDD's with no issues so know that my SATA 
controller is supported (I am running Ubuntu 6,10), and just want ot 
know of any "gotchas" before I look at shelling out some cash on a new 
DVD RW drive.

Thanks

Jamie
