I use a TDK VeloCD 12x10x32 CD-RW drive and it works fine with FreeBSD and burncd. Built this machine from the ground up about 8 months ago, specifically to put FreeBSD on it. Sorry, not sure of the exact model number because the box is not handy now. Since then, I have installed other hard drives and multi-boot Win98, Win2000, and FreeBSD (with FreeBSD being default, of course). The drive works great with all those operating systems. I have used it to burn FreeBSD and RedHat installation CDs, and for CD-RW based backup. Drive was on sale at CompUSA at the time. I'm sure if you got one now it would be faster than 12x10x32, and would hopefully work with FreeBSD.
