Why do you say that? It's does a pretty good job for medium

That is how it was sold to my son. It was sold as a SONY unit.
It is the responsibility of the OEM like Dell, Mad Dog,

The part where there is the name "SONY" on the unit. And the part
where the firmware was burnt into the unit by SONY. When the BIOS
reported the drive at POST, it reported a SONY drive with SONY
firmware and SONY model number..
"Sony DW-D26A 16X DVD+/-RW DVD Burner, Double Layer 4X DVD+R, OEM"
I buy "OEM" products all the time, and the brander makes good on them.
Since the unit was a LiteOn, I contacted them and they told me that
the unit was branded by SONY who was totally responsible for it.
Remember that SONY burnt its firmware into the unit, and by so doing
branded it. But they would not acknowledge their responsibility so I
threw it back at them - and swore I would never buy anything made by
SONY.
