a) It is cheap (pretty much the cheapest thing we can get OEM with all
   the Windows software).
b) We've had good luck with Samsung drives (optical and otherwise).

Mine has worked fine with k3b or growisofs (what k3b seems to be
using).  I've had some issues with cdrecord, but I wrote that off as
some combination of old firmware and crappy PCI Promise IDE
controller.  Since growisofs works fine, I haven't taken the time to
figure out what the problem (which I only had once, BTW) was.
