How Reliable Are Samsung Optical Drives

Hi! I had a Samsung CD-R/RW/DVD Combo drive in one of my sytems a while back which I had replaced because it died out buit it kept dieing out so I was give a Samsung DVD and CD-RW drive these where two seperate drives.

Only had them a few months and recently they have both died out again for some reason havn't even used them much.

Just wanted to know if any of you guys have ever had any Samsung drives and what you think of them. I know for a fact that I am never going to buy a Samsung drive again.

Thanks

I use Samsung CDRW drives now and again. Never had to RMA one. I also have a 24x Samsung burner at home..........Has worked fine for a year.

Am using the Samsung SW-216B RW for last 6 month or so. No probs till date. Came bundled with Nero and downloaded the firmware pacth available at Samsung page.
