In this device is the front panel removable? I would like to insert it in a HTPC case?

Hi WAUSHAKA,
can you please confirm me that the tray front panel is removable so that I can insert the DVD player inside a media center case?
Thanks, Sandro

I purchased this drive and installed it last night in my system built around the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe mobo. Installation was simple and my system (running XP Pro 32-bit) recognized the device on boot-up. Wonderful. I also burned four dvds (Fujifilm 16x DVD-R) without a hiccup. Have not tested with a DL dvd yet but will soon.

For my htpc I am looking for a nice and quiet drive under operation. Can anyone give some feedback on noiselevels on this drive?

I received the SE-S204 for Christmas. I've burned 2 DVD's and 2 CD's without a problem using HP Litescribe dvd's and Verbatum litescribe cd's. Picture quality is excellent and the unit is very quiet. (so far so good)

dont buy samsung in fact never buy dvdr cd or cdrw made by samsung its low quality product.
if you want to buy samsung its only lcd.
they are the best
its the worst burner ever produced.
they have lots of problem like dvd tray sutckwed not burning ,high noise, techincal problem after a year or less they are dead . itss better to buy an LG dvdr burner good product and cheaper .

Samsung use to be cheap as a item as cheap. Lower priced and better now in drives and LCD's. It was LiteOn with me on drives and burners. Now I have Samsung SH-202N have it now is quite and works good fast a PATA Version. Getting a Samsung 22x version Sata burner coming soon or any day now and watching the review when up on sites. Have a new 24inch Samsung LCD they are the best. Samsung doing well at the present for me

Can anyone tell me where to purchase the RETAIL version of this Samsung SATA drive (SH-S203B with cables and software)? I would like to get two for my new build. My mobo (DFI LanParty DK P35-T2RS) has provisions for lots of SATA drives but looks like only one EIDE drive.
Thanks....Bob
