Comments: Purchased one of these from newegg, and 3-4 weeks later still havn't had any problem(s) with it playing DVDs using it, and reading cd-r's & rw's with it. has been working fine with bootable CDs as well. havn't tested this with DVD-R's, DVD-RW's yet, or any other DVD formats, besides DVD movie discs, whatever format that would be called. also, if this matters to anyone, the box that this is installed in, runs 24/7, but the DVD-rom isn't being used *constantly*.
