    Okay, has anyone had experience with Samsung drives? I'm looking at this one on Newegg.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151175
    Samsung EIDE/ATAPI Model SH-S222A OEM. ($24.99+6.98 S&H)
    Or if you know of a better deal, please let me know. Now I'm also needing advice on the particular type of drive. My computer drive shows this in the device manager ATAPI DVD A DH16A1L ATA Device as well as a Physical Device Object Name of \Device\IDE\IDE Device P3TOLO-3
    Can you confirm if the drive I'm looking to buy is compatible or the same type?
    Thanks in advance
