Well, I've yet to have it utterly destroy a disk. But it has a number of 
problems:

- You cannot remove the disk from the drive without getting fingerprints 
on it.

- If the servo won't let go of the disk, or won't accept the disk when 
you try to push it in, you get scratches on the disk.

- I've seen drives where you have to "bend" the disk slightly to get it 
through the door. (Which probably just indicates a cheap drive, but 
still...)

None of these problems occur with slot-load drives.
