The drive is really really fast and very very reliable (read some slightly
damaged disks a Mitsumi could not handle).
There is a driver problem though: The drive is so fast taht during reads they
seem to stop all interrupts. So on some programms (like the Sherlock Holmes
Games and The 7Th Guest) there areslight audio problems. Audio stops for a
tenth of a second every second or so. There is supposed to be a driver update
for this problem soon.
Otherwise I can recommend the drive. For those techies out there: Its the first
cheap drive with a motorized tray (like any normal Audio-CD-front loader). The
mechanism seems to be really good.
