Solid Drive for a Reasonable Price

white Reviewed By: Falconx211 on 2/23/2008
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This drive does everything, except Blue Ray....This is the second drive I purchased and it performs almost flawlessly. Good read and write speeds and very quiet. It's about all you can ask for in a drive.
Cons: I don't know if others experience this problem, but both of my Samsung drives can be picky about certain disks. It will not read a few of my CD's and DVD's. I know it's not the disk's. I have a Sony drive as well and it reads the same disks without problem. Thats the only thing preventing a 5 egg rating.
Other Thoughts: I've always been a fan of Samsung. They make good quality stuff. You can not do better than New Egg on computer parts. After looking at my invoice history and seeing how much I've spent on my machines, I can't believe I got so much for as little as I did.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Quiet, quick, lightweight and easy to install. Can burn CDs, DVDs, and make Lightscribe labels...All for alittle over 30$! Truely a fine deal!

Great for movies, you can hardly even hear the drive reading the disk.
Cons: Comes with a suite of WAY to many Nero programs(over 1GB intall!). Use custom install.
Other Thoughts: The drive it alittle smaller in size than my other original Manufacter drive. The drive tray is thinner than most, but it won't break unless you karate chop it.

Pros: Cheap, burns OK
Cons: Any drive with Lightscribe takes FOREVER to load a disc.
Side by side drives and you'll see what I'm talking about. Happens with every Lightscribe drive I've owned.


ESPECIALLY painful booting to DOS
Other Thoughts: Does anyone use this junk?
