True enough, I guess. I love lg drives, those seem to be the most reliable.
I have one from 2004 and have used it quite a lot, and its the fastest cd
burning drive I own. Sony is good too. I have a very very no name brand
drive (that has super link technology, any idea what that is)? On my oldest
computer that burns cds at 40 x, with horrible results. Got another 2 lg
burners, different models but they both burn dvds and cds, and I use one of
them almost daily. The one in this laptops an hp, I guess, and its working
fine. actually no, looking in hardware, its lg too! I don't use it that
much, though.

Hi,
Oh, then you are lucky. I've had several cd/dvd drives go bad. In fact the
one in my laptop bit the dust and i have to make do with an external drive
until I can send it into H.P. for repairs. Like any electronic device it
depends on how much you use it. If you burn a lot of disks, do weekly back
ups, etc then your drive is more likely to fail than someone who barely
uses it.

I'm sure some sega cd units haven't been serviced at all, it'd be neat to
see statistics on older cd based consoles vs. newer ones.
Oh, another thing I'm wondering, I wonder what the wii is like with
discs? My gamecube started acting wierd, it would randomly not read a
disc so I had to reset it. With soul Kalliber, I rented it, and it would
freeze randomly.
I know for a fact that on sega cds with the front loading design (tray),
the tray motor would die. I have a Panasonic discman here from 1992 and
it still works flawlessly. I've also noticed how companies now started
skimping on ports, buttons and switches.
Quite wierd though is the fact that I've had absolutely no problem with
computer cd drives. New or old. They all work great.
