DVD burners, at $39 or so new, are pretty much disposable. i find most burners are good for a few 100 disks then become less reliable.
We live in South America, so things cost more down here and probably the model I would specify, if I were in the USA, can't be found here. . I have had better luck with burners made by other companies. We have a Sony CD-RW drive, in an old box and it is still running. Someone on the list told me months ago he doesn't order Teac drives and I think he said he'd had good luck with LG drives. I bought an LG DVD burner for my wife's box. No more Teac stuff for me. Sony had Diagnostics for the CD-RW drive and it checked out OK.
