As Slim & Jim (hahaha get it? SlimJim!) alluded to, you probably won't find a Lite-On drive in the Mad Dog, Mediastor, or Utmost box. There is a possibility a Lite-On drive will be in one of the aforementioned boxes, but these brands usually rebadge BenQ or BTC drives. Rebadging refers to anyone that takes an original manufacturer's product and sells it under the rebadger's name. BenQ, BTC, and Lite-On are all original manufacturers. Mad Dog, Mediastor, and Utmost are rebadgers (which has nothing to do with the animal).
Unless you are a hardcore burning fan, you can get by perfectly fine with a BenQ or BTC drive. The quality is fine for the average user. However, if you want to raise the bar, take a look at Lite-On, LG, Samsung, Teac, and Plextor drives.
No, I like women.
