Yeah, so this happened tonight.
Started ripping (Rip Video Disk to Harddisk) The Dark Knight UHD (USA), was proceeding ok so I went downstairs to make food. Well about 5 minutes later I hear a loud bang from upstairs, so I go and check and see the front of the drive partially open. I look closer and notice there a bits of plastic sticking out. Turns out the disc freaking exploded.
There was a read error prompt on my screen so clearly it was really trying to read this and whatever speed the drive was going at caused the disc to fail. Luckily it wasn't a super rare disc or anything.
My main question is, where did I fuck up? Should I have ripped the disc to an ISO instead? Should I have had Speed Control enabled in AnyDVD? I'm slightly frightened by this since I was about to start backing up my entire 400+ disc collection to a RAID array.
Definitely going to return it to Amazon, but should I get a replacement? Did I just get a really bad drive?
