Dying Samsung DVDRW Drive

My Samsung drive failed on me, at first I thought it was the enclosure but a direct SATA connection causes the same problems for discs that are inserted.  It will work fine for a few minutes but then starts spewing the errors below.

I've never been a fan of Korean made optical drives and have always had trouble with them.  The problem is that I don't believe NEC and Lite-ON make drives anymore, and I considered them the leaders.
