What brand SuperDrive in MB C2D?

[japanime]

According to the System Profiler, my MacBook Core 2 Duo's SuperDrive is listed as "HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MB." Nowhere can I find a manufacturer's name for this drive.

Anyone know if this is a Matshita drive, or some other brand?

Mine says MatshitaDVD-R UJ857D

Now, Apple is not consistent in their parts. Most people with C2D have Fujitsu hard-drive... I have a Toshiba...

I don't know...

My guess is yes

I have a black c2d macbook and system profiler shows MATSHITADVD-R under both ATA and Disc Burning. I don't see anything like the readout you are reporting.

I believe that is a Hitachi drive.

HL-DT-ST

equals Hitachi-LG Data Storage

equals Hitachi-LG Data Storage

Or could stand for Hellacious Loading - Discs Trashed - Slow Technology

Ha ha ha!

My bet is on what Deadpixels is saying. I've seen another reference to LG drives being in C2D's.

Mine also has a Toshiba HD, which concerns me, since my PowerBook 12-inch G4 also had a Toshiba HD--which failed, and which AppleCare replaced with another Toshiba HD, which also failed...

Deadpixels is always right
