Only 50 discs...and you think you're giving this
thing a workout? I have a Plextor R412C that I still
use on a weekly basis - 2500+ CD-R's burned with
NO problems whatsoever. Only reason it's not seeing
*daily* use is the slow burn speed-it simply was taking
too much time.
Time will tell with your cheap....whoops, "inexpensive"
drive. I wish you the best of luck with it, and hope
that I'm wrong, but I'll bet I'm not.
