I thought seriously about not installing this game because of Starforce. But I did, and it works fine, and it did not mess up my DVD drive.
My best guess from all the posts I've read is that SF negatively affected about 10% of users. Those problems ranged from slightly slower burning times to completely frying the drive.
So installing it is certainly not risk-free, but then it probably won't affect you.
And, in my case, having Silent Hunter was certainly worth the risk.
