Thats true that Sony does not build their drives. Yes, some are Liteon.
The test info that I have found on dvd burners is that the Sony drives are
faster than all others except for $Plextor drives. This info comes from Maximum
PC.
Burning DVD's fast is a good thing. A full DVD-r in five min. with the
DRU810a is hard to beat.
