Does the BDR-209DBK work as well with Linux as the BDR-208DBK,, and what is the difference in features between the two?

All CD, DVD, and BD drives have been supported by linux since forever and requires no special driver, it should be automatically detected by the kernel. As far as differences, go to pioneerelectronics.com and type in the model #s, the only difference is that the 209 is newer and can burn BDR SL @ 16x vs the 208 @ 15x.

No answer for using it with a Linux system, but works great with my home brew set up.There are way bettercamers, but have no complaints with this one.

their website tigerdirect.com says "Optical Drive Blu-Ray Player", no mentioning of BD-RW or Blue Ray Burner. This is another BS from Asus actually, they should list each custom spec on their website. But they just put generic model information only. Same issue with Wireless ac, some has it some don't and can't be sure.

I believe it will work with Linux. I do have a fair return policy if it doesn't work.

I am using it on XP, but not sure about Linux. I should as it is a physical switch and not software driven.

I believe it's because the D model has better construction, maybe a fan to keep it cool. Since you're going to be keeping it in a wiring closet, the noise of a fan is immaterial. I think the key difference is that the 1016D seems to be able to deliver a guaranteed 1GB to each port whereas the 1016A is sharing in such a way that the load may be spread equally or in a less efficient way? I know you realize that both are unmanaged switches, which with your lack of networking background and short temper, that's obviously the only correct choice. I think we'd get by with the 1016A...

Well, since those are both open source programs, you would want to check with the programmers, not the hardware manufacturer... Do you expect every company/person to keep up to date on every little Open Source program and compatibility?

Yes, it is supported. While I've never had a malfunction issue, I have called them with a couple of questions as recently as November '12. This product has been replaced by the DS212j, hence why they don't have the DS211j listed any longer. Didn't see the post below before I posted this, but I also recommend getting the newer model. While the 211j takes care of 90% of my needs, I would really like to use it as a Plex server, but only the newer Intel cpu diskstations support it.

Sorry I only use this board in an HTPC running XBMC (Linux OS) but it works flawlessly for video.

From user reviews, it appears this is a Realtek RTL8192 (RTL8192SU, maybe?) I wouldn't bet my life on it given the rapid way circuit boards in the "same product" change, but one Amazon reviewer did appear to get an RTL8192SU. It should work with Linux as noted on https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x but possibly with "non-free" (meaning $0.00, but with restrictive licenses) drivers.

This Microcontroller uses the K150 software. The installer comes in x86 format so there isn't a Linux option. However, there is an open source project for the K118 which MAY be similiar. You will have to find out if the K118 project will work for this device: http://quozl.netrek.org/

Exactly the same hardware. Better behaved firmware. Not the excellent build quality of the old Plextor but those were $300 and you will not see that again. All of mine are still running perfectly.

The hardware should be compatible. The biggest variable will be the OS. If you are using Microsoft Windows, it'll work. Linux would depend on the distro / configuration (you should be able to get it to work with any of them, but the process is likely to be harder, and getting the burning to work may be non-trivial).

The NooElec NESDR is basically the same unit with the same chipset in a smaller case. I have several of these smaller versions (nano) and they all work the same as the larger ones with the R820T not the E4000. There is a tuning coverage difference between the versions with the R820T and the version with the E4000. Both work well as SDR's. Don't forget to buy a MCX adapter for an external antenna connection. You may also require an SMA to BNC or PL259.

I have a similar board running pfsense 2.1. Some features are not supported by freebsd but you won't likely need USB3 or fully featured video drivers. You'd probably want a second NIC though.

Hello realmrealm, We do not recommend to use it with Linux. As the listing description shows, it supports Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 and only for stable performance. Anker Team 1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)
