Different heads, different firmware, different plant, all the same. Who can remember.

You know, it is okay to tell people that you really don't know.

Not necessarily. If the different letters designate designs based on different internal components, then EEPROM and/or pick-up heads and/or other components could be different. In my reply I gave pick-up heads as one example of internal components that may differ. Karr indicated that pickup heads were different on the DVD drives of which he spoke, but that doesn't mean those are the only internal components that could differ.

LTR-aabbcT
aa = CDR write speed
bb = CDRW write speed
c = CDROM read speed (1=32X, 2=40X)
T = generation
Obviously, the CDROM read speed really doesn't hold anymore with some "6" drives reading at 48x and 52x.

Don't forget that if that was true then the 52246S and the 52327S would have different read speeds as well. Given the history of the LiteON's overclocking abilities, I would think that the final digit does indeed have to do with the chipset used. This is why the 32125W can be overclocked to a 40125S which can in turn be overclocked to 48125W. Also the 48126S can be overclocked to a 48246S which can be overclocked to a 52246S.
Oddly enough, some people have been able to overclock the 32123S into a 40125S, but the results on this one vart quite a bit, and it is not recommended. I think it is only possible due to a strong similarity between the chipsets, but that is just a guess on my part.
No worries,mate.
