Easy on the all caps.

To determine your make and model of your optical drives; if you happen to have Nero Infotools installed, start it up and under the Drive tab, it will list all the relevant specifications and capabilities of your burner. The actual name of your burner is listed in the drop-down box at the top (those numbers before the name of your burner are important too!). You can get InfoTools from http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/nero_info_tool.cfm

Although it primarliy for CDR drives, it should do the trick for DVD burners too.

The Nero Infotool indicates, that I have DVD+RW RW5240, same as device manager says. Does someone know why the Ricoh brand name is dropped off? There is not even a Ricoh logo in the front panel, but Ricoh Company Ltd is printed in a metal case.

What DVD+RW model is this? OEM version? I bought it as a bulk drive.

Ricoh drives often dont have any notie at all and they, along with Pine, LG and some other brands have obscure names which dont include the company name (with the exception being LG but they have obscure labels).
