You never know with electronics. Some last for 50 burns while some last you several hundreds. You never know.

That's true bighap. Sometimes it also depends on the quality of the product. I would assume that a Sony or Pioneer burner, would be more reliable in terms of quality, then a lesser known, cheaper brand.

Thats why you always pay the little bit extra to get a pioneer or a sony dvd writer
