It looked like it did in the image. It didn't perform. My husband had to spend hours hunting for drivers to get it to work & when he finally found them it would only study pic & music discs...not DVDs or games. If for some explanation you nonetheless purchase this, be confident to plug it in proper away and attempt it out. I gave it as a Christmas gift but didn't do this. So know I'm outdoors the 30 day return policy and the manufacturer does not offer you any return policy. Soon after some extra analysis on the net it appears that a lot of individuals skilled the difficulties we did as effectively.

Even a cave man can do it. Burned a complete backup DVD in 22 snaps of the finger. Mainly because of new motherboard digital lanes EIDE nonetheless rocks. To straightforward to install. So light in weight, make certain you don't leave ay windows open with a powerful wind. I paid a hundred diollars for a SAMSUNG 15 years ago and it still functions. Heavy as a Sherman tank although. My SATA SAMSUNG is no quicker than this new EIDE SAMSUNG. There is top secrets about specific recording tricks with a SAMSUNG. SEARCH.

Works fast, and nevertheless pretty quiet. Disc tray feels sturdy, and is also quiet. None that I can come across! Great drive, along with the cost.

Functions Shouldn't be so slow... Everyone know why DVDs only burn at ӭ-1.5x speed for me? Ought to be at least 6x for DVD-Rs, it says. I utilised to get that with the drive that died that this Samsung replaced. I tried updating the firmware, but it has the newest. Running XP.

Comment:
Fantastic price. 16.99 + shipping four.99 = 21.98. Rapid shipping. Chosen 3 days UPS, and received in 2 days. Instantly recognized by Windows XP and Installs perfectly. No cons that I have noticed rather but.

It does what it says and it's quite quiet. I don't hear it at all, but then, the air's nearly always on. It shouldn't disturb you. And it's very rapid. Can't feel of any. Some could look at the lack of a bundled Nero demo to be a con, but I personally hate Nero. I use CDRTFE (CD-R Tools Frontend) for burning music and ImgBurn for burning images and data discs. This point is a bloody phantom. I don't hear it and it doesn't have a light. If you tell it to burn and then go do one thing, even if you appear back at the personal computer, you won't be in a position to inform it's burning. Then the system says it's done. Quite nice.

Operating fine now... They would read and compose CDs but not DVDs or burn lightscribe. Although these drives had the newest firmware, I decided to flash them once more and it worked. They read and create DVDs and will burn lightscribe discs.

Comment:
Inexpensive none for not being a sata

Comment:
PATA, affordable. None It's low cost and it functions, what a lot more could you ask for.

Comment:
Worked fantastic even though it lasted. Burned possibly 30 dvd's with it. Dead. This was my very first try at Samsung for Computer parts. It will possibly be my last.

Comment:
works as advertised. not even fundamental software program included. you will want to get software. (unless you want to use the cheesy Windows built-in software program) was affordable even though

Comment:
In no way had a coaster, regardless of disk manufacturer. By no means even had a scratched disk it couldn't read. Quiet, but nonetheless can read and burn speedily. Nicely refined drive. DVDs are becoming obsolete. Challenging drive storage is very economical per GB. DVDs are excellent for archive and transporting/mailing, but not significantly else. With streaming films and affordable storage, I'm not certain I'll ever acquire a bluray drive.

This is an absolute piece of crud. CRUD. Firmware updates are from China and the internet website is grammatically challenged. The various updates do nothing but hose an XP or Windows 7 technique. Tried it in each and got crunching and spinning and no DVD playback. DVD reads and appears to create but DVD films, you know, DVDs? do not read at all. None of the updates worked on either operating program on old or new hardware. This drive is a disaster. Cruddy crud.

Low-cost and easy to install. Following less then 6 months it completely fried and won't even energy up. I purchased this because I was developing a laptop or computer technique for my 16 year old daughter for Christmas. The process was place collectively in early November and she started using it immediately after Christmas day when she received it as one particular of her presents. She in no way even applied it to burn something, only play CD's. She began having problems in mid-May possibly with errors at boot saying one particular or a lot more drives had failed and when I got close to to looking at it on Memorial Day weekend, I located it had fully fried and won't even energy up. I swapped a different CD-ROM and then a DVD-ROM on the IDE channel and both worked fine connected to the exact same 550W energy provide connector. The moral of the story is: You get what you spend for!

Comment:
Rapid and low cost. Not a single single coaster so far and I have burnt a lot of DVDs and CDs. Tray is loud and really plastic... I know that most issues are plastic, but this tray is seriously lousy. Sounds like it's a toy or a thing. Other than that it's all incredibly great!

Comment:
Well what can I say Its a CD/DVD burner and a good one particular at that. Ive burned 12 discs and all 12 work, It reads rapid too. NONE I very suggest this drive

Good obtain LoudCheap

After spun up,information reading is extremely fast. Small uncomplicated read/write LED. No errors in writing any discs at major 22X Speed. Loves to suck watts out of your power provide when spinning at major speed. These drives are not to poor and thou they take a smaller time to read all the information the moment they do,they read it incredibly quick. Only factor thou, be certain you have sufficient wattage in your power provide, if not it will bring about your power supply to kick in overload protection and make you believe the drive is dead. But for a affordable drive, it works.

Comment:
Reads and writes CDs just fine. Won't read, write or do lightscribe labels. โ bucks for 2 IDE drives, I believed it was a superior deal.

I ordered this to fix an old Dell for a buddy. It came a single day early by means of normal shipping. Arrived wrapped in thick and durable bubble wrap. Took only a few seconds to install. Rebooted the Comp, and installed WIN XP. Appears to be operating fine so far. no complaints. N/A N/A

Comment:
None Only kinda worked when I very first got it. Never actually worked proper from day 1. Tried searching at firmware upgrades or drivers but just a piece of junk drive.

Comment:
Just add it into the desktop tow case No screw in the package with DVD burner. Only put on the tray. can't repair it. The package of the DVD burner is too uncomplicated
