I bought a Lite-on... or so it said on the Box, when I installed it the actual drive said it was an LG.... So I ain't sure But had mine for over a year and am very pleased with it. befoer I bought mine I asked same question and got the same response you're getting, so yeah go for a liteon. Don't buy Sony!

^The usual Sony DRU 820A would do just fine in your case.It would read & write all the DVD formats available on the grid.Atleast the regular dvd's available in the market are read & burned without a hitch.

Though I prefer Liteon, I recently bought LG only coz of its service netwrk.

Guys...stay away from Sony drives for now because they are either Samsung (DRU 830A) or NEC OEMs .....

Stick to Liteon, probably the best bang for the buck!


Sony were drives excellent before as they were BenQ 1x00 OEMs.

HI Cool G5, Liggy, desai_amogh and vijay_7287,
I also want to buy Liteon External DVD Writer Can you please give me any adress of the Liteon authorized retailer adress in Delhi?
I went to the market to buy a liteon DVD Drive but I saw now Liteon DVD writers are selling under Moser Baer Brand. Now Im not confident enough to buy something thats under Moser Baer Brand. What do you suggest? :!:
