Thursday, December 6th, 2007 | DVD and CD Drive Reviews, News

Burn DVDs easily and with high speed, with the added advantage of burning images onto the top of the DVD.

There’s not too much difference between DVD burners, usually they just work or they don’t. DVD burners have hit the peak of their speeds and 18x or 20x is the most that you find around nowadays.

The Samsung DVD burner offers up to 18x burning speed, which allows full movies to be burnt in a few minutes and offers burning to all the popular DVD formats. Here are some of the features:

• 2 MB of cache
• DVD+R max write speed: 18x
• DVD+RW max write speed: 8x
• DVD-R max write speed: 8x
• DVD-RW max write speed: 6x
• DVD max read speed: 6x
• CD max write speed: 48x
• CD max read speed: 40x

The biggest plus is to the drive is being able to flip the disc over and burning a cover onto the DVD, handy for getting a nice looking image on the front rather than just a permanent marker.
