It's rather the otherway round. In a year's time Samsung drives go kaput. Most of them either develop a tray problem or some problem with lenses. The shopkeeper is misguiding you cos he maybe getting better profits on Samsung drives.
I haven't used a Sony drive but have heard good things about it. As for Samsung, I have personally experienced the horror of Samsung drives. If you don't believe me just make a search on this forum and you will gets long stories of tragadies of people who bought Samsung drives.

NEVER EVER EVEN DREAM OF BUYING A SAMSUNG DRIVE
Just limit the word samsung to Displays, nothing more nothing less.

820 or in the real world BENQ 1670 is not built on the phillips chipset and has some minor SolidBurn issues but else its just fine...

No known problem with my friends for sony Dru 820A
But I got sony DW-Q120A and in a month it cannot read most of disks which my old samsung combo drive can read
My dealer says It is due to bad M/B chipset
HE BLAMES AMD for the problem
