Yes my experience is the same. Drive selection used to be a major issue
back in the "old days" but IMHO pretty much any drive is good enough
these days...(as testified by the AccurateRip stats). The earlier
poster (pablolie) who said that a drive is good for about 1,000 rips is
right too IME...my Samsung died at about 1,200...my Sony has done
1,300+
I think using EAC or any sector re-reading extractor is going to stress
the drive quite hard...I think you get a feel for this by the heat
coming off the disc just after you've ripped it!
