Well the only reason for the exchange is to see if a different brand may be a lttle less coaster prone. I've had two Samsungs and those went back to OWC the second day. I seem to have just a little bit more of a problem on the PM G5 Dual 2.7 than the MDD or MPB all have Pioneer drives. all Leopard so I'm kinda wondering if the drive is at fault.
