(More customer reviews)Regarding the Aleratec 1:4 DCD/CD Tower Publisher LS. Bought the first one at Microcenter. Out of the box one of the drives would not show up. I went through various recomended registry cleanings as well as deleting stuff in my device manager. Aleratec customer service was very helpfull with a replacement, but I had to push them a little to have them absorb the shipping cost of returning the item to them. Make sure you don't pay for shipping if you have to return one. Next, once I started using the device I had problems. For instance, drives would stop responding and then the whole job would have to be restarted. The software is unresponsive, and you cannot cancel jobs once they are started. Not only that, the software ignores you. Several times I tried canceling all my jobs (because one of the drives stopped responding), and then the drives just kept popping open waiting for disks. I attempted to close the software, but got stuck in a loop where it would ask me over and over whether I wanted to cancel all burning jobs. Basically I would have to resort to shutting the device down, and then killing the software's process. I tested this device on at least three machines (windows XP) in my house, and am seeing the same problems on all of them. If a drive does not hang, the software hangs. Twice I had machines freeze up completely while running the software. So I would say the idea is neat, but Aleratec has not tested their hardware and software that well. Also make sure that you buy plenty of extra media. Out of a job of 60 disks I had to do, about 15 where failures for one reason or another. If you are a professional making large amounts of media, this product is probably not a good idea, since you will probably have to go and test each and every disk.
