Pros: Came home today, tray will not close, seems some kind of interlock and tray timing is off, worked great for a few weeks but now is a lemon.
Cons: I'd look elsewhere, this is the 2nd NEC cd drive I have had failed. The 1st lasted 2 years than the laser I believe went out, this one I figured was a good value but now that in 30 or so burns it's got a track mechanism failure I'd say spend elsewhere
Overall Review: My last NEC drive. Tech support is poor, they only allow certain brands for support, they leave it up to the aftermarket parties to provide support. Why not just provide no support, it's all you get anyhow
