If your building a computer or need a new DVDRW, this is perfect. It's just a plain DVDRW (+ -). Supporting Dual Layer. No fancy Lightscribe technology. Just a good value drive.

I bought this as my other writer didn't like cheap dual layer disks and I figured it was worth a punt at this price. I wasn't disappointed, it arrived in double quick time (less than 24 hours after placing order with standard postage) and does exactly what I need, which is to burn at max speed on any media and be readable on a variety of readers.

I replaced my faulty factory-fitted internal LG DVD re-writable drive (which developed a fault after 250 disc burns) with this Samsung model. Very easy to install and Windows XP recognised it easily. Within a few minutes I was burning DVD/CD's again! Extremely fast burner, though a little noisy. This was the ideal replacement for my Dell Desktop PC, and quick to burn onto DVD media. Just be aware that there is no 'audio out' both at the rear or front of the drive, but if all you are going to do is burn discs then it's ideal. Highly Recommended! Additional Note: Did not come with any additional cables or software, just the basic drive, which was good enough anyway.

This rewriter does what it says on the box basically. You install it into your pc, start your pc and windows finds a driver for it and away you go. Ready to burn discs. Cheap and cheerful.

When it comes to hardware I'm no expert, but anyone armed with a screwdriver can replace or upgrade their existing internal DVD drive.
I ordered the cables too just to be sure (they were only approx £1), although I didn't actually need them in the end - the drive just plugged straight in using the existing cable.
Windows xp recognised the new drive straight away, and within minutes of opening the parcel from Amazon, I was burning new disks. I didn't even need to find a driver. I wasn't bothered about writing speed, buffering whatever, I just wanted something cheap, easy to install that works - this unit ticks all the boxes and was about half the price of the basic models I saw instore.
Update Aug 2011. The drive recently developed a problem; the audio on any DVD that I play is now stuttered and jumpy. Have tried several DVDs and the result is the same. If I try them in another DVD drive it works fine, hence problem with this unit. I emailed the suppliers this week but they said that the warranty is only for a year and I have had it 14 months. Unlucky. Also they no longer stock this item and recommended I buy a SATA drive instead. Which I just did for £15.

It was purchased to replace another Samsung which was on its last legs (after 6 years), it arrived promptly enough although with no cables or software so its only recommended if you are replacing a drive you already have. its very quiet and does the job (so far) 100% to my satisfaction. the black case fitted in with my lenova system which is also black.
it gets my thumbs up especially for the price as the last drive cost £85. i havent tried doing dual layer on it yet but its done most other stufff & no failed burns yet.

I bought this to replace a failed CD/DVD Rom drive. Good price and it arrive quickly. Installing it was very easy and once it was in, the PC recognised it (Windows XP) and that's that.
It comes with no burning software of any description, so I downloaded Deep Burner CD burning software, free version. (There is a plethora of free software out there.) It works fine. I have burned a number of CD's and they all worked.
Haven't burned a DVD as of yet, (Deep burner has free DVD software too) but based on the reviews before this and my experience so far I'm confident I'll have no problems.
Great value and does the business. Exactly what you want from a DVD burner.

This is a upgrade, the last one died after being fed a 5-pence coin by a 5-year old. Yes it's an upgrade because it works really slick, and the tray and loading action is fast. Works out of the box with Win-XP :-)

Cheap, works. Not branded Samsung.
The drive we received was not branded as Samsung, even though the picture on Amazon was. But, it's cheap, and it works.
