Very good dvd cd read write good value product

It plays/writes DVDs well enough, but it just sort of turns on and opens the tray at random, popping off the cover on my pc and being annoying.

Is it Hitachi? Is it LG? Hmm… well, the box says it's 'TSST Designed by Toshiba Sam sung [sic] Storage TechnologyCorporation'. However, the back of the box appears to indicate that it contains four screws, a manual and a disc with Nero 10 Essentials, so it is rather pleasing to find that there is a DVD writer in there at all.Once fitted into my Linux box—that went swimmingly as I had a spare SATA cable and socket available—booting up found the drive immediately. It is reported as an 'HP DDVDW TS-H653R'. The nearest official HP device has the model number 'CDDVDW…' odd, but they are indeed manufactured by Toshiba for HP.I purchased this drive to replace a 13-year-old Plextor that had done sterling work but had recently stopped burning DVDs. My first test of the drive with an audio CD proved a failure, however, and so I left a three-star review here. After testing the same CD on multiple machines, I discovered that it was a faulty CD! I was just unlucky in choosing that one to do my first test. Further tests have been 'ripping' successes.I have regraded my rating to five stars since the drive's performance is excellent—a bad CD cannot reflect badly upon the equipment.

Bought this, installed it, died within hours, replaced it and replacement didn't even work from first installation. Giving 1 star cause I can't give zero!!
