I got my BD drives attached in a similar way.
The bridge controllers are from JMicron, too:

/var/log/boot.msg of my Linux 2.6.18.2-34-default:
<6>usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
<6>usb 1-5: new device found, idVendor=152d, idProduct=2338
<6>usb 1-5: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=5
<6>usb 1-5: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge
<6>usb 1-5: Manufacturer: JMicron
<6>usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 528860D21142

I would assume that this resembles much your
situation on the CentOS machine.
The drives work fine (although i suspect that
the USB-SATA transport hampers 16x DVD+R speed).

Those bridge controllers came in USB boxes by
Conceptronic, model CiS525U.


Have a nice day :)
