Sony sells liteon or sanyo/optowrite drives. You can reflash them to their originals. Liteon drives are crap. They have a bug so you can not burn moser baer 4x -R media which is the most widly available media in india. Although it does burn the mistubishi ones which are the exact same disk with its name changed. Liteon's also have this in built learning thing that once screwed up will give you coasters no matter what.. Once you burn a junk disk, forget it. I spent many months and lots of money and over 100 disks figuring this one out.
The NEC or Pioneer are the safest bets for the indian markets. Since they are not as agressive and work with most media and believe me, most media in india is crap. I have tried over 20 different media and no matter what, sony, tdk, samsung, lg all crap crap crap... and you can forget those cheap media. So now I stick to the mitsubishi, burning them @ 2x cause I am sick and tired of checking every burnt disk to make sure they work. I could spend rs100 a disk and get moser baer 4X +R's which work fine..
So unless you really know what youa re doing and can get media that WORK.. You need to buy a drive that works with available media. You dont get yuden's which seem to work the best with all drives. Or something like ricoh's which mostly work. None of which are available easily.
