 Fast Drive Good Price September 7, 2009

I recieved this drive very promptly, and in good condition. It was packaged very carefully. This is an OEM drive, but it did come with a copy of Nero 8, which isnt the full version but is still pretty handy. It does not include a SATA cable, but you can pick 1 up from syba (blue transparent 17") here on amazon for $1.30, ive bought 4 of them so far and they are just fine. Drive isn't too loud and works pretty fast.(burns the heck out of my old PATA).Note: Drive isn't marked samsung on the tray, but it is a Toshiba Samsung Storage Tech. which is 51% Toshiba 49% Samsung joint venture. Ive owned these drives as oem's in new comps, and theve always been ok for me.I would reccomend this drive for purchase.

The specs on this dvd writer are quite good. If you looking for a Lightscribe enabled drive, this one has some of the best specs available as of this review. I pre-ordered one thru Amazon and it was delivered within the promised time frame. Upon receipt, I installed the drive (this unit comes only with a CD of Nero Software and a user guide - No Sata data or power cable) and the unit would not power up. Long story short - defective drive. I tried to contact Samsung customer service for assistance to no avail. Samsung customer service was totally useless. Amazon customer service, on the other hand, was brilliant. They immediately sent out a new drive (even before receiving the defective drive back as a return) and I installed it. Now working like a charm. Amazon provides postage free delivery back to their warehouse. So, in short, a great device if if works as it is supposed to. And if it doesn't work, Amazon stands by its product (unlike Samsung).
OEM or retail, still a great drive August 27, 2009

I'm not sure if this is meant to be retail or not. The drive comes in it's own brown box (packaged from Samsung, not Amazon) along with some instructions and a copy of Nero. No cables of any sort, but at least I wasn't expecting them. If you are, go looking elsewhere!
As for the drive itself, so far I have nearly no complaints. It can read basically any disk out there (aside from the obvious; Bluray and HD-DVDs). It seems to read disks very quickly. Noise levels are lower than my previous NEC(Sony) drives. I have noticed spin-up times can be a bit slow, causing a bit of system lag, but nothing too bad. Oh, and lets not forget Lightscribe...something I've still not tried, but I'm curious how it'll work!
All in all, I'm very pleased with the drive. As long as you don't need the little extras included in the Retail box, go for this one.
Solid drive works well October 11, 2009

I installed this drive in my Lenovo Thinkcenter. It fit perfectly in a standard 5.25" drive bay. I don't know why the description says "half height" as it is normal height.
It went in without a hitch. It comes with a lite version of Nero and Lightscribe software. I installed both and was burning CD's and DVD's in no time.
Drive is pretty quiet in my office environment and is quite fast.
I'd definitely buy it again. For the price, this is a great drive.

This drive is compatible with windows 7 64-bit RTM. It comes with Nero 8 Essentials, and you can also pick up a free upgrade to Nero 9 Essentials when you go to google and search for ODD update (click on the link that talks about a free upgrade). Their website states that all drives manufactured after november 2009 should already have it installed, but i bought mine before that.
This drive was straight plug and play, i used the installation CD and everything went well. It gets a little noisy when it spools up, but once it loads up and quiets down you cant even hear it. No cables come with this drive, so it's only good if you are building a new system or you have extra SATA cables lying around. If not, remember to pick up a SATA cable before you finish checking out. I recommend this drive to anyone looking for a decent combo non-bluray drive.
