Hm, I wonder because LS. Most Asus are similar with Pioneer-drives which using a NEC-chipset, so they should have LF

Yeah, I posted something about the drive back in June. I never did find out if it was a Pioneer.

My gut feeling says that this isn't a Pioneer drive. You can kinda see the top of the drive in the link below. It sorta looks like an NEC or Sony NEC Optiarc drive.

They even have an SATA version:

NOt a Pioneer? Not nice

But the Asus have LS, how it can be an Optiarc?

I dunno. It was just a guess. For all we know, this is ASUS's own design. It wouldn't be the first time they did their own thing.
