Does the slot load mechanism tend to scratch disks when loading?

It's safer than to try to force it into the trays which open up. It's good machine. It has some soft velvet to protect it while loading. It also has a button to open so less likely to eat the disk.

I installed the CD that I got with the game and had no problems.The only problem I have with the CD is that it hesitates every once in a while.Maybe you could contact IGT slots and see if there is a record of others having problems.

I did not have problem. Loaded disk and device worked well when connected. May have to turn off firewall on security.

There is no special slots for cd and credit cards. I have run credit cards thru regular slot with no problem. I have not shredded cd's

Ryan: I am very interested in finding a case, possibly one with a slot load drive. I read you mentioned a case you found but where's the picture of the case? I would love to see it if you could please provide me a link or photo. Thanks so much. -cindy

I've never seen a separate slot and don't remember it mentioned that way. However, I have tried to shred a CD and it was a disaster. Made a huge mess and jammed up the machine and took forever to clean it back up. Never tried a credit card but I would assume it would be as bad as the CD

I don't think it will damage and I had no problem with it and only thing that is how much screwing to tight cd slot and it won't damage though I had no problem at all

Your results will vary. I did one disc for a friend, and it seemed to turn out ok. PS3 discs, I think, had a form of scratch protection measures implemented to help protect the discs. The same couldn't be said of the xbox 360, although the console itself did chew up games at times. I don't know how much the scratch protection on PS3 discs affects the ability to repair said discs.

I would also assume it is scratched or damaged. Mine does not have that problem.

I have had no issues with mine. They have been through the diskwasher several times. My son left one out in the rain for a couple of days and never a rust issue.

Yes, It is very conservative when it comes for the disks. My diskstation rejected 2 hard drives of mine that I never suspected. One of those disks died one month later. Anyway the raid config is still the best choice to avoid surprises.

Since I purchased the slot loader, I don't have first-hand knowledge of the tray loader. I'd suspect that functionally, they're indistinguishable. However, based on reviews as well as logic, I'd imagine the tray loader to be physically more delicate and more susceptible to damage. I am very happy with the performance of my slot loader.

You have to be careful when removing the mount because the tabs which hold it in work by exerting force against the top and bottom of the slot. Once in, it is very secure. The mount does not extend very far into the slot; I can't imagine it damages anything as long as you don't just yank it out of the CD slot.

Check your disc's first to see if there are scratches. Chances are it is not the disc's fault it is the type of burner you are using .

Though I have only used it a couple of times the speed seems to be pretty fast when it loads a CD. Hope I helped.

Try washing the disk with mild soap and warm water, then drying it off carefully making sure there are no fingerprints on the disk. The disk is very sensitive to any contaminants or even seemingly very minor damage (such as fingerprints/scratches). If you have a scratch on the disk, just call Netflix and they will send you out a couple more spare disks. Hope that helps...

The disks are inserted just below the PS logo, and above the open/eject button. Look at a close up of the picture and you can see it. It is NOT like the XBox where a tray comes out, the disk gets inserted into the slot. Much better that way, won't have disk repair problems like XBox does. Hope that answers your question!
