I'd like to add a negative recommendation for the HP SureStore CD Rom Writer.
I have the original model, which rarely works.  I received no help
from HP, despite talking to managers at HP World.  (They did give me
two 5$ phone cards and one blank CD-R disc :)

Good choice!

The original SureStore was a Philips drive with an uncessary change to
the ROM software, rendering it incompatible with most third party CD-R software.
