Today
Drive Reviewer Jan S., takes an in-depth look at another DVD writer, the
Samsung TS-H552B. This drive supports 16x DVD+R writing, 12x DVD-R and
2.4x DVD+R9 DL writing technology, allowing dual layer discs of 8.5Gb to be
written. Here is a snippet from the conclusion of his review:
The
main positive points:
The first point we would like to mention is the DVD+R9 DL support, the
technology is quite young and it is an interesting format to experiment
with. The next point is the 16x DVD+R CAV writing technique that leads to
faster burns when compared with 16x Z-CLV. The drive is a very good reader
and it can read CD-R's at 48x and DVD's at 16x, even audio cd's can be
read/ripped at high speed. Due to 'two sheep" burner and the DAO-RAW
writing mode - the drive can be used to backup copy protected CD's. It
also supports 99 minutes CD-R's and writing quality on CD-R's are quite
good.
