Bought my 1620- July 2005 and the DQ60 October 2005.
I burn a lot of movies. So these units do not sit idle. And I use the Benq as the CD boot drive in both my pc's in the event I have problems, etc.
My first Plextor 8X only lasted 4 or 5 months before it began to produce coasters. Plextor replaced it no questions asked, but even the new one made funny noises which sounded to me like the kiss of death. Somehow I think all this stuff is disposable, given the prices which keep dropping.
