SAMSUNG 22X Half-Height DVD Writer Black IDE Model SH-S222A

Comment:
Burns audio CD-R's at full 48x setting without errors, despite the fact that it only gets to 40x or 41x max in actual burn speed (Verbatim Discs). None 1. Examine firmware. You need SB02 or else you will get stuck at 8x!!! SB02 Firmware fixed it. Download Samsungs Free firmware auto-update software program. Will verify & if required auto update any Samsung Drive.2. Every Lite-On I had lost the ability to eject. Samsung are still operating following a year or more.three. If you get a defective drive (do firmware very first), Newegg will take care of it for you, not problem. Give Samsung a possibility.4. I burn videos at 4x with any drive no matter what brand to avoid pixilation and so forth.five. I have two of these purchased about a year apart. I thought one was defective, but it just needed the firmware SB02 update. The other one particular came with that firmware currently installed.Samsung, quiet, has Little activity light. If you cannot see it working, then exchange it. Runs cooler than other brands. Does audio ripping, Wii backups, & I have done quite a few Verbatim DVD+DL disks (dual layer), & they have all worked 100%.

absolutely nothing Samsung figured it would be a excellent concept to make junk and here we are won't read or burn dvdr dls useless I'll stick to my lite-ons never had a challenge with their drives won't get this brand ever once again. Also it says super write master on it it really isn't considering that it can't manage one thing as easy as dvdrdl. I threw it proper out of the window then went outside and ran it over with my truck I hope the men and women who made this drive end up homeless and lose their loved ones

Quiet, rapid, and newegg rocks none

No issues so far installed in an old Dell dimension 2400.Burned a number of disc and no coasters however. None as of but.

Comment:
Quite quiet and fast. Simply worth additional.Seems to burn Anything that's rated 18x at 20x with no issues. Tries to burn some 18x media at 22x; occasionally it works but if you get a undesirable burn you have to maintain cutting it down manually. My Samsung 20x is nonetheless burning fine after a year and a half, but I want to burn copies much easier so I added this one. The work wonderful in tandem.

Comment:
Cheap. Works. None so far. Passing the three-month mark with no hiccups. Rare for a DVD drive in these ultra low-excellent, Created-in-China instances.Of course, now that I've provided it a positive evaluation, it will likely blow up and kill my technique...BRING I.T. MANUFACTURING BACK TO THE U.S.A. PLEASE! If not for the jobs, then just to get failure rates back above 20%!!!

Comment:
Cheap Price tag 1. Right after a couple of burns, it stopped operating and i kept obtaining errors when trying to make CDs/Dvds. two. Doesn't come with a cord. Do your self a favor and spend a small far more money for a greater high quality burner

Comment:
None Loaded Operating program, then any other CD no matter whether it be drivers or applications would not read, and mentioned not Windows 32 bit application, I was operating a 32 bit operating method. Believed I had gotten a negative run for the initially two Samsungs that did this, simply because old Samsungs worked effectively, in truth I employed an Old Samsung four x reader to load the other Cd's, looks like a poor run or style flaw.

Worked fine ideal out of the box. Installed it and was on my way putting in software from DVD-ROM's correct off the bat. None. As listed, it doesn't have a working audio output port.. But, who makes use of that anyhow? I've owned the exact same drive for my most important Computer for about two years now, only it's SATA. It's been as rapid and stalwart as anything at all, so when it came time to acquire a drive for an older personal computer of mine, the choice on which 1 to get was rather straightforward. As listed, it doesn't have a working audio output port.. But, who makes use of that anyhow?

Easy to install and price tag is superb. OEM drives do not come with screws or IDE cables so preserve your old ones.Replacing a now-defective Lite-On that is much less than a year old.I use it mainly for imaging my computer and it has done a good job so far. It takes 20-30 seconds for the drive to recognize it has a disk inserted. As soon as the activity light goes out, it will read the disk. I am finding utilised to waiting due to the fact it has burned nicely once it recognizes the reality it really does have a disk inserted. It can burn and erase DVD-RAM disks as properly as other kinds which I call for on my DVD burners

Does anything I need to have it to and hasn't made a coaster yet. At first disks were catching on the housing upon insertion. The situation seems to have sorted itself out. I've generally preferred Samsung drives. They hardly ever disappoint and this 1 is no exception. I commonly burn DVDs at 8 speed, just for peace of thoughts. If I ever do uncover 22x media, I may bump it up to 16x.

Excellent !!.........Fantastic !!............Excellent !!!!......Acquire IT !!!! None

Functions as expected. Working with it in an iMac G4 without any issues. Is a bit noisy and produces fairly a bit of vibration, maybe in a laptop or computer that wasn't as quiet it would not be as noticeable. For the cash I truly can't complain.

Very good Seller +++ 100

Operates. Minimalist faceplate with good, massive eject button. Really loud, and the drive tray is a but flimsy. There are other comparably-priced drives available on Newegg, such as the Sony Optiarc, that are quieter and give identical-or-far better performance. IDE performance appears noticeably worse than SATA.... I'll invest the extra two dollars next time....

Have utilized it to burn DVD's with no issue. Lightscribe appears to work fine. Price is in the range it really should be. Installed with no driver issues. none This is a excellent fundamentals DVD/CD burner. OEM indicates no bells or whistles, but thats not a poor issue either. I'd purchase an additional if I needed a single.

Comment:
this drive is a cheep but nicely made drive i got it when it was ฤ with no cost shiping 2 years ago and it dose every single factor it mentioned i would. no drivers required a correct plug and play device following 2 years of use the attempt stoped operating but it signifies i need to have to get an additional 1 great drive for the cost will buy again

Comment:
None It appears that these two open box burners had been untested before reselling. Each DEA and I let the warranty expire while trying to figure out why they wouldn't work (and on vacation too). Now I have three far more burners coming from right here but I won't hesitate to send em back subsequent time.

Best, installed it in my pc and started working, rapid delivery none

Completely didn't anticipate an IDE drive, but hey, it works! Great read write speeds, quiet, no complaints...just shocked. Ribbon cables make me cry. Do not fear the IDE, be one particular with the IDE and you shall see the true path...to savings!

A Trustworthy, multi-format, multi-mode DVD-RW drive with IDE assistance that is actually plug and play. No external drivers required (though you will require CD/DVD authoring computer software). Burns all of the formats it lists without concern, supports accurate DAO burning and can overburn CDs with out matters. Can author 90 and 99 minute CDs with the correct authoring software program support. I have burned over 1000 discs on it and still going strong.Also a great drive for keeping your legacy computers alive! I have purchased 3 of these more than the years, and one particular is presently installed in a Celeron 833 Win 9x machine with no troubles (just keep in thoughts in such a slower processor, don't try to burn a DVD at 16X... preserve it around four to 6X or your processor can't keep up). As long as your OS and Bios support EIDE this drive need to give you difficulty cost-free instalation and service. None that I have. If you need to have a drive for a legacy personal computer, or just a excellent rapid, reliable drive and don't want to use a SATA slot, this is almost certainly the drive for you. There are other comparable IDE supporting CD/DVD burners out there, but their numbers dwindle each day. This drive was great for it's value, it's even better when it has free of charge shipping. I have burned DVD video, DVD 5, DVD 9, DVD RW both + and -, CD audio, CD-Video, VCD, and CDRW on these and it works flawlessly. I have not had a likelihood to attempt DVD-RAM, as I have nothing else that makes use of it.

Straightforward install and it works. None

Low cost! Reads, writes, and rips something short of Blu-ray, rapidly and easily. I have however to have it burn a single coaster. CD-DVD-RW tech is quite a lot as good as it's ever going to get. Has a very nasty flaw: Occasionally, when reading a normal audio CD, it locks up my technique. I have had this happen under both Windows XP and Ubuntu ƙ.10 and ten.04, each 64- and 32-bit). I encountered the challenge when archiving my audio CD collection to *.toc/*.bin image format on my tough drive.There's no obvious reason for these lockups. It's not caused by scratches on the discs; they rip just fine in my other drive (a LiteOn). All the audio CDs are normal redbook format; that is, no "clever" DRM schemes which are recognized to trip up CD-ROM drives. So go figure. I finish up having to push the PC's reset switch.Maybe my drive is just defective, but it works for everything else, so I never ever got around to RMA'ing it.Two eggs off for these lockups. It's unforgivable for an optical drive to bring the rest of the system to a screeching halt. Works fine if you don't need to have to save pictures of audio CD's.
