Please elaborate on your testing methods. I also have a masterlink

very interested in what programs or methods you are specifically
using to
determine hard drive failure.
Twice a year we burn an 80 minute disc and send it to a mastering
facility
which has a Clover CD tester. They return error reports. Any burner
which
exhibits E22 errors is earmarked for replacement. Unfortunately you
cannot
use off-the-shelf CD burners, you have to buy them from Alesis for
about
$80.00 each. Originally I had the brilliant idea of buying a burner
from
Alesis, then once I new the model number I could buy it from another
vendor
at a lower cost. No dice, the burners are discontinued and aren't
available
through any source I've found.
