That legend has the truth of the other DC legend I've heard, that the SH4 processor is backwards compatible with the SH2 of the Saturn.
The resistance of the laser in the GDrom unit is tuned very fine in order to read the smaller gaps on the GDrom discs. This results in a much shorter lifespan than normal CD drives. Thus, the DCs disc drive has a shorter lifespan than normal, but this has nothing to do with reading CDRs or other discs.
If you'd like, and if you've done this sort of thing before, I can give you instructions on how to adjust the potentiometer to a lesser resistance, or even how to adjust it higher and be able to read CDRWs (which will decrease the lifespan more...)
Don't worry about it. CDRs don't do anything thats abnormal.
