As lower speed media is more cost-effective, users can save money while burning discs at faster speeds. However, the latter beat the former by several seconds when it came to single-layer DVD burning, as well as audio CD ripping and burning.The SH-S223 drive offers a powerful over-speed performance feature that enables consumers to burn data at high speeds - even on low speed media. The Iomega also ripped single-layer DVDs and wrote to DVD+RWs a few seconds faster than the Samsung. However, the Samsung's double-layer rip time of 22:55 was more than 5 minutes slower than the Iomega's 17:05. The drive burned a 7.9GB movie to a double-layer +R DVD in a quick 21:46 (min:sec), a good 5 minutes faster than the 4X DL DVD+R burn time of the Iomega 16X SuperDVD Writer USB 2.0 drive. In CNET Labs' benchmarks, the WriteMaster SE-W164C performed on a par with its manufacturer's speed ratings. Those speeds include 4X for DVD-R writing 16X for single-layer DVD+/-R writing and DVD-ROM reading 48X for CD writing and reading and 8X for DVD-RW reading and writing, as well as DVD-RW reading and 6X for DVD-RW writing. Otherwise, the drive features fairly standard speed ratings across the board. The WriteMaster SE-W164C's main claim to fame is its 5X double-layer DVD+R write speed, which bests the former double-layer maximum speed of 4X. You can also use the CD to install the helpful included software, which consists of our Editors' Choice-winning Nero 6.0 suite of apps, including burning programs, a media player, and a video editor. You can insert the bundled CD to access the electronic user manual, which provides further information on the drive. Flip the drive's power switch, and the device shows up in your system's registry. The process entails little more than attaching the included power and USB cables to the drive and your computer. ![]() Due to its handy external design, plug-and-play USB interface, and included installation guide, the Samsung WriteMaster SE-W164C is exceptionally easy to install (unless, of course, you have to update your BIOS, as we did). ![]()
