I'd like to give my five cents on this
issue. In some tests I did, some older
CD drives couldn't read some CD-R and
CD-RW. Since those CDs were readable in
other drives, and those older CD drives
also readed other CDs flawlessly, I had
two hypothesis:
1. The older CD units' had some issue,
like a misaligned laser beam;
2. Their laser beams and fotoreceptors
weren't compatible with reflections
produced by some kinds of CDs.
This happened alway with the same com-
bination of CD's and drives' brands...
I can't tell which is more likely, then
I must assume both (1) and (2) could
happen as well.

I'd say it's false advertising. Maybe
transfer rates are fine, but certainly
the drive itself isn't that fast. :)
I don't believe it could deliver 120
MBytes/second... Do you?
