Here, I've observed that a cd/dvd writer has about 1/2 the lifetime of a hard drive. 2 years at best, but then I tend to buy the 2nd model down from the top featurewise, a few months after the new is worn off the featurelist. My current LiteOn 451-S is about 18 months old & still working good, knock on wood, or my now 70 year old head. But I don't mention it in front of it either...
