Artec WRA-WA48 32x12x48x

[seebol]

Reviews of this drive on this site have said the same thing over and over: the drive self-destructs, and can't read CDs after a month or so.

The same thing happened to me.

So, anyone know why this happens? How it can be fixed? Thanks.

From what I've read it's a real POS chalk it up as experience and move on with the purchase a good one. You are not alone a lot of people have been burnt. :(

a few unhappy bunnies there, I must agree. Mine is fine and the only coaster I have made came from an exceptionally cheap batch of disks, which i won't waste my money on again. Justlink works great for me, must be a good one in every batch i suppose.

So which is the problem line? Antec or Artec?
