yeah sony is great.although plextor has nice features and bundle but i didn't find it anywhere at the time of my purchase.so i opted for sony.its almost 2 yrs and it has not ever caused an error while burning.i suffer that problem sometimes with LG one.so i'd not suggest u to go for it.

yes thats true.but performance wise and other features like build and tray i think sony is a much better option.and according to every digit test on optical drives liteon has been the winner.the only problem is its availability.sony is easily available.

I'm going to buy a writer too. I don't think there is service center for Liteon at my place. Do you think I should I go for Liteon or will Sony be better?

It has been there with online retailers for quite some time. For eg. see the link below. (Sony Rs.1.9K)
My next one will also be SATA but my DRU810A is still working perfectly after 2 years.

Sony sata writers are available here. Its 18X, but Liteon is 20x.

One big point is dat, the greatest writing quality is for BenQ and Plextor. Just check some reviews or shootouts nd ull find it. That is discs burned on these drives has the widest supports on older drives, DVD players etc.

But perfomancewise Liteon is ahead of Benq. Quality is somewhat same. Plextor is too expensive.
