with regards to reading scratched discs which is better the lite on 165p6s or lggsa 4167b or does the octo technology of samsung prove useful?

i have a lg combo drive whichreads almost any disk better than my friends asus and samsung ones which give up easily

My LG drive has been able to read badly scratched disks pretty easily.
