I'm assuming it's this one?
I bought two of them, the first one worked fine for PS1 games most of the time but every backup of PS2 games I did was faulty (stuttering on FMVs, wouldn't pass the menu, red screen, etc..) it lasted for like 2 months before it refused to load discs.
The 2nd and current one I'm using is working super well, sometimes the PS2 burns take longer than usual to boot but besides that they have worked well for me, same for PS1 copies (I burn them at 10x speed and no issues so far, maybe FMV stutter but sometimes it happens and other times it doesn't).
As for burning tools I juggle between Alcohol, Imgburn and cdrtfe.
