What????? Most of them are rated for around 50,000 hours of operation,, so that is probably alot more then 500 burns..
Also, if you use it for a CDROM all the time, then it will wear out faster, but if you only use it for burning,, then expect it to last a while, I had a burner from when the very first IDE burners came out, it was an old Octek RW260 and when I sold it 4 yours later, it was still goin strong, and it must have burned at least 500 CD's because back then I was the only person that people know had one. don't stress it, they make them alot better and more accurate now, then they did when my old Octek was new. Actually, I have a HP 9500 series burner that I stuck in the case of a USB 8200 series case, works great in windows, haven't tried it in Linux yet. only downside is that I have a 12x burner connected via USB (USB can't do more then 4 times burning, due to USB bandwidth limits.) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of ngn Sent: Thursday, 18 October 2001 10:48 AM To: newbie Subject: [newbie] OT: Life of a CD - Recorder Hi folks!!!
