Reliability
The CRX160E has a mean time between failure (MTBF)
rating of 100,000 power on hours (POH) at 25% duty. 25%
duty means the CRX160E 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 you from using it. This includes 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.
