the external DVD burner from Samsung reads and writes all common DVD's and CD's, but no Blu-Ray's. For me, the supported formats are perfectly adequate, since I usually only use DVDs. But primarily I bought the external DVD burner from Samsung, because I need it for my netbook and here no internal DVD drive is is.
Amazon delivered again with the usual very fast and reliable delivery. So here I can only praise at this point Amazon again!
The packaging of Samsung is sleek, simple and compact. When unpacking, I noticed sofot The lightweight on, with just 270g. That's less than any other external DVD burner on Amazon. The competition in this case is 320g-350g and up. The burner in the private home of Samsung ;-) clear to listen to 50g-70g and upwards not much, but you know it very well.
The processing is in my opinion very good. The case is indeed plastic, but very well made and therefore also stirred the very light weight. There are not very many edges and corners available. This convinced in my view, continue, as this you simple and compact form is again underlined. Only 2 plates of the top and bottom so it was put together. Front is now the insertion slot for the DVD's or CD's. Also this is very simple and well made. What I personally find very beautiful that the DVD burner rises only by the upward sweep of the open character. Since no button is unstable or which you have to push. It opens easily by gently - something firmer paint over it.
So now to the core, the drive! In operation it is definitely audible, but not very loud. I have internal DVD drives so many laptops that are heard much louder part, but with external I have no great experience, because it's my former External. So all in all, it has a pleasant strolls operating volume to a lesser extent. But I think or suspect that other drives identical or similar even louder.
I would recommend the device because of its ease of ease of operation, beautiful appearance (a matter of opinion) and very good processing all know who needs an external DVD drive for its netbook.
By the way the drive is bootable, have prepared 7 Home Premium version installed so that a Windows on a netbook. Without instalation or configure the drive works perfectly and in a pleasant my quickness. Recognize any differences to my DVD drive in the iMac! This is by the way a little louder ...
In addition, there is no cheap sticker or something on the drive, as it reported a Rezensator before me. Do not know what he means exactly that, but cheap stickers or wrong product photos there is definitely not! The drive looks like in the pictures ...
Many greet
