I can highly recommend Sony cdrom/cdrw drives. Used a few of them on
ss5/u1 for booting and normal use quite happily, and they're reliable.

I'm sure there are other less expensive drives that will also work,
but I have no experience with any others apart from a Yamaha cdrw
which mysteriously started spitting out discs for no apparent reason -
it was out of warranty so I just didn't bother using it anymore.
