This is one of the first reviews of this external drive, a joint effort from Samsung and Toshiba. Too bad it wasn't stronger on DVD+R discs, as they are the most common type. External drives have come a long way, although I still prefer a LiteOn in a Belkin enclosure for serious disc tasks with my notebook.
The Samsung WriteMaster is an innovative, external DVD writer. It has no performance penalties in either reading, or writing, by the use of the USB 2.0 interface. Its attractive black and silver case is complemented by the ability to use this drive either in the more conventional horizontal, or the space saving vertical configuration. The drive is nearly silent during use. With the included Nero Express software, users can burn a variety of disc formats. The drive is particularly strong when burning to CDR, DVD-R, and DVD+R DL discs. With so many optical disc formats, no one drive can be exceptional at them all. While this drive does have its weaknesses, a user looking to add DVD recording to their computer, without dismantling his or her case, should certainly consider the Samsung WriteMaster SE-W164 DVD recorder.
