Plextors are unusual for cdrom drives in that their firmware will try
forever to get clean rips on a damaged or defective disk.  That's
likely the cause of the scsi timeout.

However, it's not normal for a Plextor to have so much trouble regularly.
Usually problem discs are pretty obvious.  I'd contact Plextor with
the possibility you have a damaged or faulty drive.
