I had one drive to fail on RAID and lost 12TB, but I used this Optical method in the past for work. Of course, I have tried the hard drive method, and lost several drives. My Plextor drives are like a tank compared to the new drives now with plastic parts. Brands of media for CD-R's was at first Kodak, and Ritek. What I find though that most people use cheap brands of media, and cheap drives. My background with computers dates back to 1982, but I have worked in Lasers and coatings in the past as an Engineer. The problem is that most people don't know how to pick up CD's or store them properly. Sounds like you ordered from online used CD's, but it might have been better to see them first. My 8-tracks, cassettes, VHS tapes were replaced long ago. I have vinyl from the 60's and 70's that still play, but that was pressed. You can have manufacturing problems on some early CD's. Each CD is stored in a jewel box, in my basement that runs around 55 degrees year around. I can deal with 0.0005 failure, but entire drive? No way! Majority of my collection was 1999 to 2003, but I do have some CD's that are from 1987 to 1990. I think that I had one failure out 1700 Discs. I recently ripped my entire collection of around 1300 CD's to WAV and 400 DTS CD's and all still play fine.
