CD Freaks presents the Samsung TS-H522U 16x DL writer

Today, lets take a look at Samsungs latest Dual Layer internal offering, the TS-H522U. This drive supports 16x DVD±R, 4x DVD±RW and 6x DVD+R DL modes which allows 8.5Gb to be written to the appropriate discs.

Last April, Jan S reviewed Samsungs TS-E552U, which is a quite similar drive, but of course it is an external model. So what he decided to do with this review, was focus on what hopefully, this newer internal drive can do better and to discover what progress has been made in the H522U. For instance, did it overcome the USB-Bridge limitation found in his testing of the E55TU, allowing this TS-H522U to offer us real 16x reading and writing. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a nice view of the TS-H522U bundle:

  • The internal drive itself
  • IDE cable
  • Internal Audio cable
  • 4 mounting screws
  • Setup Guide
  • Samsung external DVD±R/RW Writemaster CD
  • User's Manual
  • Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD 8 OEM

To see how this newer, internal drive fared when compared to it's older brother, please head on over to the review page and take a look at Jans test results. If after reading his article, you find there is something you would like to know in addition to the information found there, please feel free to stop by the forums where Jan has set up a discussion thread. If you are interested in this 16x DL writer, it can be had for a less than $50 dollars US, not bad.
