ON Cd freaks every review of a dvd writer seems to have the first negative point to be lack of Mt. Rainier.

do any drives come with it?
does anyone notice any difference?

Yes , many drives have it !

If you need it , it is a very nice protocol to have on a drive.

Mt. Rainier, also known as EasyWrite,and developed by Philips , is a format specified by Microsoft, Sony, Philips and Hewlett-Packard to allow an optical disc to be used exactly like a floppy disk. That is, being able to read from and write to the disc from within any application you use, without the need for special burning software. Mt. Rainier differs from traditional packet writing software in that it performs most of the tasks (such as background formatting and handling defect management) in the hardware of the drive itself, making the system far more robust, it relieves the operating system from these tasks. Mt. Rainier will be a standard part of the forthcoming Microsoft Windows version, called Longhorn. Mt. Rainier capability is available for CD-RW and DVD+RW only. Look for the EasyWrite logo on the front of the drive to determine if it is Mt. Rainier compliant.

Here's a few drives with it :-

Lite-On LTC-48161H
Hitachi-LG Data Storage GCC-4481B
Samsung SN-324F
Panasonic UJDA750
Sony DW-R56A
PHILIPS CDRW/DVD CDD5263
NEC ND-2500A

So if you do have a lot of work to do on RW media ; Mt Rainier is the way to go.
