Apparently, Sony will shut down its Optiarc division of optical drive production. Good riddance! A few years ago, Optiarc was a good brand, back when it was under NEC entirely. Now, it's a joke! The last Optiarc I had lasted only 6 months before it needed replacing. The one before that, a year.

Optiarc used to be a good brand until Sony got their hooks into it. Ever since they took over, it's been downhill for Optiarc quality. JVC, I think, used to own Optiarc. So, if Sony took over JVC (Don't know if they did.) and JVC took over Taiyo-Yuden, well, expect the quality of TY's to dwindle down to nothing as well. :rolleyes:
