    This is arguably the fastest DVD-Writer, on paper at least

    Supports up to 22x DVD+R/-R, decent speeds, silent, DVD-RAM writing, inexpensive

    Could only write to the DVD-R at 18x

DVD-Writers are the de facto optical drives in the Indian PC market today. If you happen to go to buy one, you are spoilt for choice because there are so many out there. To help you out of this confusing maze of choices, we'll cover DVD-Writers in our reviews so that you can make an informed decision when it comes to buying one of them.


This time, we've chosen to review the Samsung WriteMaster SH-S223, which is arguably the fastest DVD-Writer around, sporting a DVD writing speed of 22x! We'll now put it through the drill and see if it can emerge unscathed.

Try Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden for media. I have this drive and can confirm that it writes at 22x with Verbatim media.

Can I get Taiyo Yuden in any shop? If you are going to tell me that I have to import then, then it is not an alternative for me and 18x is definitely the maximum burn speed available on this drive to people living here in India.

Please recommend a good casing to use this drive as external in USB2.0. Is it recommended using as external?
