The Sony CRX 195E and 210E drives are Lite-On 40x12x48 and 48x12x48 drives respectively, with slightly-modified faceplates with the Sony logo. I flashed my 210E with Lite-On 52x24x52 firmware, it works great.
If this drive is a "real" (as opposed to my overclocked) Lite-On 52x drive, then this is definately a HOT deal.
Hmm, eject button does look like a Lite-On, with the slightly-rounded tray that is characteristic of the Sony/Lite-On models.
Edit: Ahh, It's an OEM drive only, no retail Sony warrantee, no included burning software. That's why the price is relatively low.
