Had liteon cd/dvd drives in the past and all failed prematurely in the first 12months hence IMO they are rubbish.

Used to use LG till they started that bluebird crap. Stopped buying Liteon, started have drive belt failures with them. Had good luck with Samsung drives.

I've had loud, buzzy and unreliable drives from sony, lg, philips and samsung in recent times. Plextor seem to make the most reliable drives from my experience.
