Samsung SM308 CD-RW/DVD-combo review

OverDooz used our newssubmit to tell us that GideonTech.com has a review on the Samsung SM308 CD-RW/DVD combo. This drive is very handy if you have not a lot of space in your computer case.

Also the price is not something to keep away from this drive. The drive is able to write your CD's at 8 speed, rewrite at 4 speed. The drive is able to read at 32 speed, and if you put a DVD in the drive, it will be able to read it at 8 speed.

Conclusion:

After all the testing on this drive, it showed us that these DVD/CD-RW combos are not much different than having two separate drives. The DVD picture was very nice, the read time and load times were also very fast.

The burns were done perfectly, the CD-R and CD-RW we used read fine in the Samsung drive and also in a Hitachi and Ricoh drive.

If you are in the market for a space saving drive that can do both DVD and burn your favorite CDs, this is the drive for you! It is quiet and gets the job done for a remarkable price. A big thanks to Samsung for providing us with this great sample!

Pros:

Fast and quiet drive

Great manual

IDE cable included

Nice software package

2 cd-r/rw media included

Cons:

Would have been better if there was a larger buffer Or, inclusion of burn-proof technology to prevent buffer under-runs.

Not a bad drive at all, but also not a superb one. Read the rest of the article here
