How much has your Plextor been used?
Using qpxtool, you can see how much your Plextor has been used. Share it in this thread. My W5224 has been used quite a bit!

Useless thread, though.

Re: How much has your Plextor been used?
This actually helped me out when I was curious about the second-hand Plextor I got a while back. I didn't know QPxTool had this information. FYI, it looks like the "discs loaded" counter stops at 100,000. Either that or it was just coincidentally the 100,000 disc, but I doubt it.
Is there any rule of thumb for how many hours the OPU should last? I think the drive is at only about 500 hours of reading or so, IIRC (don't have it in front of me right now), despite having been fed so many discs.
