Review title: These drives have hardware issues!!! Please Read!
Product review: I have owned this drive since 10/2002 and am actually on my second unit now because the first one stopped being able to read/write DVD-RW and DVD+RW/R formats (but still would read and write DVD-R). I spent a month going back and forth with Sony and it was only my background in network engineering that enabled me to convince sony engineers that the drive did in fact have a failure. They finally replaced the drive with a completely new unit and that unit has been fine - until today... Now, of course, the unit is no longer in warranty so I am screwed. Just another example of Sony's recently waning quality. See for yourself if you must, but I am buying the Pioneer A04 like I should have in the first place. I have had it with Sony!
