SPECS:
--------
The Powerplay controller unit comes standard with the Toshiba SD-M1402 DVD-ROM drive. The drive supports 12x DVD / 40x CD playback.
DRIVE USAGE:
----------------
The drive is called a Plus One in the user interface, and allows the user to quickly play a single DVD/CD without the need for loading the changer. Great design, especially when the changer is located away in a rack or other sound-proof enclosure.
REASONS TO REPLACE:
----------------------------
- Strange new sounds from the drive. Grinding sounds are common after a couple years of use. I haven't figured out what causes the sound, but a faulty motor is the probable cause.
- It is possible that a faster drive may provide quicker access to DVD tracks and menus. This is not yet proven, however.
STATUS:
----------
Replacement in progress. Trying to find a replacement drive that will work. Tried the Toshiba SD-M1502 which is slightly faster, but though it would play CDs, it wil not play DVDs after it is installed. :-(
