Title: Incredibly poor drive!
Product review: I tried two Sony DDU-1621 DVD-ROM drives, and both of them constantly disappear from Windows Explorer and Device Manager on a brand-new install of WindowsXPSP1 on an Intel D875PBZ mobo. Reboot, reboot, reboot... Then I read the reviews elsewhere, and you would nearly think that this was the worst drive ever made. The Sony storage support website has NO official firmware updates, either. I tried a new IDE ribbon cable, but that wasn't the answer. Yes, the drive is properly configured per the instructions on the Sony drive support website. I've read that Sony doesn't even make this drive; well, they shouldn't put their name on it, either, since it drags down their namebrand quality. Best thing about it? It's even quieter when it's dead!
