Is it identified as CRX220E4 in device manager or is it just called that on the box? It is is identified as that in device manager, then it is probably an OEM Ricoh like the CRX195E4...

It's available without box (bulk) in nylon case . The only label on the back of drive writes Sony CRX220A and after some production codes ,some spaces write big E4 . Also there is not any info in Sony's OEM site....

Sorry i can't take picture because I saw it in demo screen of a computer parts shop . I don't know what happened but this moment here, look to be a lack of Sony CRX220A1 retail, since i bought it last week. And now I saw this bulk version of this........

BTW Sony drives are always cheap here and alternative choice make them Liteon .(Liteon as brand is rare available)
