Had a deathstar before the drives were known to be widely failing.
Decided one day to consolidate my backups from CDR to DVDR. Copied CDRs, deduped the contents and could fit about 15 CDRs worth onto one DVDR. Satisfied, I cut the CDRs and rebooted my system to prepare for a DVD burn.
The drive died on reboot.
Ended up taking a sledgehammer to the drive to get the anger out of my system.

Remarkably sturdy, that drive base was.
