3 We've been
reviewing quite a number of
Samsung
products here at GT. Does it mean we only review their items and
no one elses? No. Simply put, there is no other optical drive company
that can match it in quality and price. Where else can you get a
combo DVD/CDRW drive for less than 80 dollars? If price doesn't
get you, then the features like standard 8MB buffer memory and sound
dampening technology should.
So today, we're on another reviewing run through
another optical drive, their newest 52X24X52 speed CD-RW. This
review will be straight forward, since many times the technical
mumbo jumbo will likely confuse many people. We'll try to get
to the main juicy parts...
