welcome. i had a plextor drive. a real pain. only good thing about it is that it stopped writing about 6 months after i bought it. when i bought it, i was not aware of problems and why it had to open tray, just that k3b would hang if i did not open tray. it was a low write speed, so when i bought a new drive, i got a faster one, turned off tray open, and all was ok. it was interesting to see that some hung with out opening, while others hung up from opening. > Useless as long as k3b's version for EL6 is wildly out of date. > You just get told to upgrade.
