Well, after getting all setup on my WC system, I find that if I want to mount everything and use all my bays for stuff, I will only have room left for one optical drive and no floppy.
That is cool with me, but I was planning on using the pioneer DVR-108 as my main optical drive. Some here in town recommend against using it for everything, as it will burn out (I really never got an answer as to why, how fast etc).
Why is that? I only would use my dvd drive to load games to the HDD, and write all my floppy drivers to dvd's for future use (just plug in the FDD and copy all my disks then disconnect it).
The only other thing I would use this drive for is cd burning, which is what it is made for anyway. So, am I ok using this drive for reading stuff, installing my OS etc, or is that going to drastically affect it's performance / life?
