I think jiml8 and I were very clear on this: K3B may fail to perform the verification but that does not mean that the iso was not properly burned. If you verify the md5sum manually, you will find that the iso is just fine. In short, there was no reason at all to buy a new cd/dvd drive.
I do not know about Samsung. I use NEC and have the verification issue - and so does jiml8 using a Lite-ON. So apparently, the problem is not manufacturer specific.
I've run into similar issues with my k3b also, but for different reasons. I run multiple VMs (in VMWare) on my machine. I have found that if any of the VMs have the CDROM drive connected, it will most often error on the verify, or less often actually will coaster my discs.
