neat trick!
instead of the bezel, why don't you check the label on the top of the drive?

I bought a Cendyne Lightning V from Staples last week...forgot that the model number was on the back of the box til I got home. Looked and it was a Benq drive so I took it back and asked if they had and LTR's. Nope. Ended up paying more for a Buslink 52x after the sales rep told me he and two friends had bought one each and they were all Lite-On's. Mine was but you never know when they will up and switch on ya. Every review I had read of the Cendyne said it was a Litey.....

It seems that CenDyne often releases their drives as Lite-Ons but then switches them for other drives. This causes nearly all reviews to be about the Lite-On.

BTW, Buslink has been known to do the same thing. Not all Buslinks are Lite-Ons anymore.
