We have several drives capable of rw at my site but I never use the option and if anyone asks I tell them to stay away from it. It’s not worth the hassle.

What I would try is the purchase of a single drive for each type (I’d only test the rw part, everyone knows single function cds and DVDs work. Test them to see if they suit your needs and then buy the bulk of the machines as testing dictates.

Hope this helps.
