<snip> Hi Paul. So what you're telling me is to buy the cheapest 24x burner I can find, since it's probly made by Lite-On, anyway. Is there a way of finding out who the actual manufacturer is? As far as "Burnproof", or "SMART-burn", they all claim to have some variation on the theme. Are they all the same, or is one technology actually better than another?
