Reliability

The 1600L i.LINK drive has a mean time between failure (MTBF)
rating of 100,000 power on hours (POH) at 25% duty. 25% duty means
the 1600L i.LINK drive is in actual use a quarter of the time the unit is
turned on. MTBF is an average failure rate based on the total power on
hours divided by the number of drive failures. A failure is any
malfunction of the drive that prevents usage, including failure to power
up, load or unload a CD, and read or write data. Faults are not
considered failures when they relate to incompatible software or discs,
or from mishandling and/or abuse.

Reliability ratings are derived from a large statistical sample, and are
not indicative of the performance of a single unit.
