I have been using Samsung CDR-RW drives in most of the systems I have built
without a hitch. However, I did find their burn times when copying a CD a
bit slower than my LiteOn installed in a similar system (PIII, 800). Not
that much different. Both drives are rated 48X. When burning a CD on the
Samsung, Easy CD Creator reported a max burn speed of 32X the LiteOn ran at
38X. Not much difference. I did find one DVD drive that I put in a bit
noisy.
