Almost every CD/DVD write you buy today is supported. I recently bought 
an NEC2510A CD/DVD writer with DL capability and I haven't had any 
problem with it. The system detected it automatically. I just had to 
make a mount point for it.

Check out slickdeals.net, there is an deal for NEC3500 - $50 after rebate.
