In general, it's very hard to tell what rebadged drive is inside any
device or computer these days.  It will often be a completely
different maker even inside products with the same part number.

Cdrom drives in general are greatly improved over the past ten years,
and it's unusual to find one that does not work well with cdparanoia.
However, if you're worried, I suggest buying locally from a store with
a good return policy.
