    Certainly is a handsome unit. It is probably a rebadged drive as I am sure Cyberhome is not making their own drives. From the specs perhaps it is a BenQ or LiteOn. Just a guess on my part.

    BenQs are very good drives. I have a BenQ DW1620 in my desktop. It does very good burns especially with DVD+R media. LiteOn is a little more hit or miss. Maybe if you ask Cyberhome they'll tell you which drive it is although I know other makers have used different drives for the same external unit. It depended on the SKU which drive you got.
