Re: CD writer wear out?

My cd writer of white label died after just two years of heavy use. At last it still was able to read but made a lot of errors during write. So I bought a new one of label LG, which died after just three months or so. But although it could not write cd's no more, it was also still able to read them.

I have a new cd writer fitted now along with a cd/dvd writer, both of label LG (it's hard to find another one here nowadays). Both seem to work fine for the moment.

Manon.
