Hi,

I have two CD ROM Drives. Following information is available in device manager:

1 - PLDS-DVD+-RW DU-8A5LH usb device
2 - TSSTcorp DVD+RW SU-208GB

upon some search i found that TSSTcorp stands for TOSHIBA SAMSUNG STORAGE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION. Does it mean that this drive was made with the collaboration of samsung and toshiba?

can't find anything against PLDS.

Regards

Correct, TSST is an entity formed by a partnership of Toshiba and Samsung.

PLDS is another joint entity, between Philips and Lite-On (Phillips Lite-On Digital Solutions).
