Why does disc break in 48x / 52x CD-ROM drives?
Disc break during use is a new symptom surfacing recently, it is most likely due to poor quality of the disc. All LITE-ON CD-ROM drive are designed with ABS system that reduces vibration to minimize such risks. However, CD disc sometime have hidden flaws such as : 1.Defective material; 2.Defective due improper manufacturing process; 3.Invisible hairline cracks at the edges. To avoid disc breaking in operation, it is recommended to always use legitimate copies of CD titles and good quality discs ( However, we have seen CDs distributed by software company came with defects due to poor QA process too ). Also, please DO NOT place labels or any other foreign objects on the disc to avoid excessive vibration during operation.
