[Smile_M]

I heard that those that are made in china are total crap. It it true ?
Perhaps someone has one made there and could comment it's performance etc?

Where is yours made and how it performs? You can find this info on the sticker on top of the drive

I don't know about the 1712.
But I do have the toshiba 1612 and it is total crap.
Won,t even read 40% of FACTORY dvd's
It is about to be replaced. Likely with a Lite-on.
Anyone else with toshiba greif????

I have a Chinese made Toshiba, SD2700. It's a basic DVD player about 2-1/2 years old. I got it for its ability to play VCDs. This thing plays anything it's supposed to play, DVDs, CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, and VCD. It works better than my brother's more expensive Toshiba.

Everything is made in China now!
