Samsung DVD Writer Reviewed


There are a lot of drive reviews out there lately. This is the latest effort from Samsung. It has some rough spots, but overall a good drive. They just never look too attractive when Microcenter is selling them in clear plastic bags like they were pulled from a garbage dump.
