I have LG GH22 SATA and its good. It comes in black colour yes. Not sure about SATA vs IDE. Sata has been good for me, have never used IDE.

I have a Samsung SH-223F, been good so far and never had any burn failures either. It's pretty silent too. Opt for a SATA drive any day as it would avoid that IDE cable mess. I was going to dispose of my Lite-On IDE writer for the same reason, but it died on me at the right time, so got this drive.

:shock: How come? You just plug in the DVD RW and download burning software like Infra Recorder/Imgburn from the net and burn to your heart's desire. Do viruses embed themselves in hardware too? :conspiracy: Link me to that forum and more specifically, that thread please.

I googled more about the bluebird firmware issue and it seems LG has fixed it with a firmware patch. Whatever it may be, I am facing no problems whatsoever.
