The Thompson was the worst of the bunch, the Samsung is by far, the best one. You can identify that drive by, when ejecting the tray, if there are TWO HOLES in the tray (like mine), you have a Samsung. The first ones out, the trays are solid, as are the Philips drives.

There are stickers on top of all the different dvd drves.
The Samsung drive has two cut outs at the front of the tray, the other two(Thompson, Phillips) do not.
Whether the Samsung is actually 'special' is just a matter of opinion and media(I assume this is about burning cds/dvds)
I could tell you more, but then microsoft would make me disappear in the middle of the night for exposing their secrets
Hope that helps

The Samsung will play more media brands as well as *more* CD-R's than the Philips or Thompson drives. But in reality it makes sod all difference. Nothing wrong the the Thompson or Philips units.
Having said that, if you put it on ebay, you'll get a fair packet for it . . .
