If the 106 are not avaible perhaps you can find the older 105 or the 115 I had both for almost 3 years on different pcs and they have provided excelent work.

On the other side if you don´t like the idea of buying a past model then I recommend to wait for the new pioneer and meanwhile use your cd-rw as a reader.

No, no, I was trying to say that the 106S is out of stock... At last I found by luck some 106s drives ang kept one for me. The drive is magnificent but it has a very weak point: IT SURELY CANNOT READ SUBCHANNEL. What should I do? On the other hand it's an excellent DVD and CD Reader. Should I keep it, or replace it with a Liteon LTD-165H or Toshiba 16x48 DVD??? I think that keeping it as it is would be most wise since I own a TEAC 40x Reader. But the fact is how long will the TEAC last so as not to worry about... :confused:

For TEAC there are very diferent opinions out there some say it last very well and others say it doesn´t as for my own experience the 540e wich is the model I have used it´s a pretty reliable unit and it has been working for at least 12 hours a day during a year and haven´t presented any problems (even I like more the Plextor 40x (px-40tw) scsi ) so I think that as you are right now I would use the Pioneer for general porpouses and the TEAC when reading subchannel data is needed, this way the TEAC may last even more.

Yes, that's really clever. Nice one. I will go for it. My 40x Plex died after 2,5 years of use... The 32x TEAC I had and sold to my friend, died also and it was not hardly used. But the fact is that all Pioneers I used (and use), did never ever cause problems. My 32x CD-Rom DR-A04S is still working fine after 5!!! years of hard use. My DVD-U03S still works after 1,5 years of hard use (at both DVD ripping and CD/Audio readin and Extraction...). But this doesn't mean that TEACs are not as reliable as Pioneer do... And perhaps I may belong to the few that would claim that they are disappointed from the 40TS Plextor performance and stamina. my 32x Pioneer has surely do much much work during these 5 years I use it... Any way, time will show how things will go ;)
