My friend has a cafe with a combo drive and dvd writer of both LG. if you ask me LG has a high Lifespan but sometimes its prone to cyclic redundancy check and when i try it to mine it is reading smoothly... LG drive starts out doing errors like that at six months.. Which is awkward to my Samsung combo. the problem is It is reading smoothly but has a low lifespan. Its just if you use Samsung and LG brands dont go burn and burn and burn ( or burn most often) so that it wont destroy its tray and also its reading capabilities.(cause burning may overheat the motor inside the drive and may cause burnt circuit)... Hope it helps ^_^ So i prefer ASUS with Quietrack<--- It does not destroy the cd(glitches and scratches) and it reads so smoothly and a long lifespan though it cost more than those two brands.. it cost additional 10%... but a good choice though
