The version 9's are really cheap an nasty. My laser needed calibrating after 9 months of a lot less than average use (less than 1 hour a day) and only thing that went in were originals, ritek g4 or verbatim datalife+ cdr, i wouldn't mind but its meant to support rw, something that would probably have fried the laser and LBA chip. Sony r a bunch of cheap tight $%^&*!!!!!
