Thank you for your reply, I tested the drive some more yesterday and found that it doesn't have the same problem on CD-RW media. And the FujiFilm DVD-RW that causes the problem it has no problem reading from. I'm not sure if it's just that brand but it seems like it's a problem with the media. However, it surprises me that bad media can cause the drive to fail into an unrecoverable state. Looks like a cheap shitty device, atleast it wasn't expensive :) I can test the device under different OS/controller if you feel like you need that information.
