need SATA DVD-RW that works okay with S3 Sleep

[Benedict]

Tried to move from IDE to SATA for better cable arrangement but the drive I
tried
didn't resume from S3 Sleep mode properly. The drive disappeared from both
Device Manager
and Windows Explorer and required a complete reboot to bring the drive back
so I returned it.

Some people get around the issue of disappearing drives by changing the SATA
controller from
AHCI to IDE (which disables features like NCQ and Hot-swapping) but that
isnt an option with my motherboard.

I have Samsung F3 drives in the master slots and the DVD-RW would have to
plug into one of the slave slots.

So does anyone know of a SATA DVD-RW (not bluray or HD) that'll function
happily with AHCI + NCQ and all that and resume properly from S3 Sleep?

Omitted here is your BIOS setting for SATA. (Mine are under IDE
configuration.)

there's no option to switch between AHCI and IDE mode if thats what you
mean.
I know some people have used that to bring back disappearing drives but I
dont have the option in my Bios.
So I need a DVD-RW that can function on the same controller as a hard drive
with AHCI, NCQ and all that enabled.

Found one - the LiteOn iHAS-124 works perfectly. The quietest DVD-RW I've
used
and it functions properly with Sleep using the same SATA cable and port that
had
previously stumped the LG BH10LS30.
