Samsung Europe was kind enough to send us the Samsung TS-H552B DVD-writer. 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.
Samsung has developed and produced optical drives since 1994. In 2004, they joined up with Toshiba for manufacturing and developing optical drives.
