Remembered a friend back in 1998 bought a slot loading optical drive, and had a debate of slot vs tray loaders.

So now I will resurrect this epic battle.


(for the uninitiated, the majority of optical drives are tray loaded (ie you press the eject button and a tray slides out for you to put your disks in) though there's a few slot loaders around the place)

i love slot loaders. the are usually smaller and definitely add a level of sleekness to the device.
Slot loaders seem more fragile to me :/
how so? with a tray loader, the tray can break off

a slot loader is a lot harder to break...
When I first used a slot loader a few years back, it kinda scared me.

You've got to be extra stupid to break a tray, not sure but for some reason every slot loader I've ever met has had some issues. Maybe it's just my luck
