SAMSUNG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model TS-H663B/UOAH - OEM

Pros: SATA connection and OEM which means you supply your own software and cables. No firmware update was needed for my W7 instalation.

Cons: none (OEM is not a limitation, but rather it is a description of what is being offered.) If you don't have software or cables, then don't order OEM.

Overall Review: Burned a CD and DVD after I installed it. No problems at all using 8X burning rate for the DVD. My media limited the speed, not the DVDRW. I checked the Samsung website, and there is no firmware update needed.

Pros: Only burned a couple so far but no problems using Nero 7 Ultra/WinXP Pro(SP3). Used Verbatim brand 16X DVD+R @ 16X and 52X CD-R @ 48X and 40X. Compared to my (3 year?) old 16X NEC (IDE) DVD burner this drive is a tad less noisy at same speeds, discs are ready to read in almost 1/2 the time and this unit is close to 2" shorter so I gained a little extra elbow room in my case too.

Cons: Spin down time after read access seems a bit long, hopefully the motor outlasts the laser. ;)

Overall Review: Was priced just right for me ($24 & Free-Ship & No_Rebate_Hassles). Thanks NewEgg!!!!!

Pros: Works, isn't too loud, nice price. Used it in a new Windows 7 build. Installed, burned a cd everything was fine

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Some people may complain that it is packaged in bubble wrap but it is OEM. Make sure you have screws and cables before you buy this.

Pros: Works like it should. Motherboard recognized it, hasn't had any problems so far.

Cons: n/a

Overall Review: ASUS M4A77TD MoBo didn't have any problems recognizing it.

Pros: Great burner still kicking in my backup PC after a couple years and a few thousand burns. As long as your computer can handle multitasking you can do pretty much what you want while burning with this burner without worrying about making a coaster. I only made coasters using SONY dvdrs.

Cons: Didn't even remember buying this but that's because it doesn't say Samsung on the faceplate.

Pros: Great burner, fast, reads all type of discs.

Cons: Worked for one year and now it can read disks but it can't read any blank CD's or DVD's.

Pros: Well I'm not brand Loyal on these drives I tend to buy what is on sale and usually get Lite-on but this performs very well and is quiet I like that. The OEM software is Nero Essentials sufficient for basic stuff but you can upgrade to the full software cheap using the included disc.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Samsung makes sold products you can buy with confidence

Pros: Worked right out of the box. Pretty quiet and burns fast!

Cons: none thus far.

Overall Review: For some reason I have a DVD RW (D) drive and oddly a BD ROM (F) drive under my computer with his drive. Im running W& 64 bit if anyone knows why please let me know.
