I purchased my Aopen 1232a after reading extensive reviews on the net. Sites like CDRLabs.com and Storagereview.com rated this drive very highly, the former calling it the best price
erformance drive available, the latter calling it the best budget drive.
Lo and behold, after using this drive for about 6 months, it has started to misfunction. I use it primarily to burn audio cds, and uptil now have burned about 70 CDs. The problem is that when using Nero it refuses to burn at 12x. I can hear it spinning up and making sputtering noises and eventually an error screen appears. I am forced to burn at 8x. Why did I pay for a 12x drive that functions only at 8x? :|
I rate this drive a 5.
Like to see what u guys say.
