  When it comes to knowledge-sharing on failure modes, the details
more, the better, I always say.  But if nothing else, it would be nice
to know the brand and model.  :)

  I've never had a problem with Plextor in general, and I've got a
Plextor SATA CD/DVD +/- ROM/R/RW DL (TMA!) at home that's never given
me an issue.  They're relatively pricey for an optical drive, but they
work, and optical drives are cheap enough in general that relatively
pricey is still pretty cheap.
