Sony DRX510UL is detected as DRU510A?

[Birdman]

Hi fellow Sony DRX510UL/DRU510A users.

I just the Sony DRX510UL and upon installation, the DVD burning softwares detected the drive as a Sony DRU510A.

I'm wondering if this is correct?

Thanks

I've just installed what's supposed to be a DRU510AK and it's also detecting it as a DRU510A so I'm wondering the same thing.

I just took my drive out of the PC and it's definitely marked DRU510AK. Should I be updating firmware or something, possibly?

Don't worry about it, the old 500ax is still id'd as a 500a and it works fine so I don't think that is a problem at all.

Its all the same, I have a Sony DRX-500ULX and it is detected as a 500A.

It is because Sony DRX510UL is external USB2 drive, which is nothing but Sony Internal Driver DRX510A put in the USB enclosure!!!

It is like this

Sony DRX500A -> Internal DVD writer
Sony DRX500A + USB enclosure = Sony DRX500ULX -> External DVD writer
Sony DRX510A -> Internal DVD writer
Sony DRX510A + USB enclosure = Sony DRX510UL -> External DVD writer

It seems a bit slack on Sony's part that their drives don't identify as what they actually are. It's not a big deal, just a little confusing.
