DVD Burner Question?
I was looking at the specs for my Liteon 8X DVD Burner and I saw something that says MTBF ( Life ) : 70,000 Hours. What does this mean?

Mean Time Before Failure
In other words, average lifespan. |

Do all burners and CD-Rom's have this projected life span?

And as I said, that's it. Never seen an MTBF number ? It's on every specification .. .at least it should be there. RJ |
