firmware difference "plextor" PX-880 vs lite-on iHA*

[PX-880 is a lite-on]

Is there a major (substantive) difference between the "plextor" PX-880SA firmware and the 'equivalent' liteon iHAS* upon which the plextor is based?


other than manufacture name and model information?


please provide authoritative citations if you have them



(wiki*edia doesn't count as authoritative on anything)

Aside from the fact that the firmware on the Plextor drives is now encrypted so that you can't rip it and put it on a Lite-On?
