As summary suggest, I was wondering how noisy this drive is for any other owner. I got it at Best buy for 130$ 2 days ago and it slams shut very loudly and reads off of cds very loudly compared to my old Pioneer OEM DVD106S (Slot load).
Is it normal for a tray load to be louder than slot load? Ive used this slot load Pioneer for a couple of years and it still is quieter than this Retail DVR A08XL.
Finally, is this something that i should return and replace at best buy, or am I just overreacting?
Edit:
Also, it burned a Samsung cheap 12X CD-R in 4 minutes flat using "37X." I was under the impression that the drive could only do max 32X... This was burning 622MB of data.
