All the DVD-ROM/RW drives I own are from LG (3 total I own), and they all work flawlessly, more-so my Super-Multi Writer (re: writes all DVD types) which I got during xmas.
Only thing about my super-multi is that it takes about 3-sec longer to spin up than my other two drives for some reason.
Probably doesn't help that I got a bit of brand-thing going with LG though, since I also own a couple CD-RWs from them back in the day which never died or me or that I had troubles with, just a brand I trust personally, unlike the Sony DVD-ROM I got about 4 years ago, who's front-plate warped or something, making the entire drive stick when it was trying to open, requiring a knife handy.
