I may be mistaken in thinking it is the decoders not the drives. Please let me know if I am, I may need to reverse some advice to customers and suggest that they buy new drives not new decoders if you are correct. Since I have not actually bought one myself, I only know these things indirectly. I have been getting reports that these kits tend to crash systems, not get along with a lot (maybe most) motherboards, that Creative Labs recalled the first batch of them, etc., and I would like to know more from those who may understand the real situation with them.
