Samsung SE-W164 DVD Writer
 

Since entering the consumer market, DVDs are quickly replacing CD-ROMs as the primary medium for storing portable computer data. The decline in prices of DVD media, as well as the increase in hard disk space, has substantially increased the market for DVD burners and readers. Today we're taking Samsung's SE-W164 external DVD burner for a spin (no pun intended). The competition is extremely tight, so many different companies are pushing drives with new features and improved capabilities; sometimes you have to wonder about false promises. Will Samsung's latest external hard drive, the SE-W164, deliver on the rated speeds? Is the drive consistent? Is it just as capable as an internal drive?
