The sony drive is a rebadged LITEON. Just thought I'd let you know. Check out the LITEON & LG FORUMS at CDFREAKS.COM to help you decide which one to purchase.

Some people rave about the LG 4163 and seem to like the 5163 just as much. I really am not a fan of Liteon DVD burners so I would stick with the LG.

The external LG is sounds great I wish I had the $$ to get one, I shouldnt have bought this 109, dispite what lord smurf says its not that hot.

Here is a very complete article on the LG. I agree with the above. My LG burns as well as my NEC. My Liteon is good only for scans and CDs.

If that is your only choice, then pick the LG.
