As you can see the popularity decreases quickly after the top 5. We will focus our attention on BenQ later, despite its 11th place.
LG is leading, followed by NEC, then Pioneer and Lite-ON. If we combine HP/SONY/Lite-
ON (because Lite-ON is producing for Sony and HP) we could re-sort the chart. Plextor which is well known in the community is only at the 9th place probably because they are not so active in OEM bundling as their competitors.

LG is #1 in use, it's also the only one which never replied to emails from VSO. When NEC, Pioneer, Lite-ON, Plextor, and BenQ are quite nice to help us to support their newest drives and technologies, LG doesn't feel concerned about alternative software developers. If any unmentioned manufacturer wants to collaborate to use this database or help VSO to provide better support, they may contact us (see contact section).

The top 4 manufacturers take more than 50% of our reports.
