Got first DVD drive from this company on 12/5/13. It stopped working 12/9/13 (may have been earlier but this is when I tried to install something again.) Returned it to Best Buy (thanks for the easy return) and picked up a replacement on 12/10/13. This one allowed me to install Starcraft II, but then promptly stopped reading any and all discs/dvds and wouldn't even show they were in the drive.
We checked all connectors and tried running a troubleshooter. Connectors are fine and troubleshooter won't run because it says the drive is working fine. Since when is a DVD R/W working fine when it doesn't read DVDs or Discs?
Will not be getting this brand again.
What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Stopped working in under 24 hours
