I bought this samsung CD-RW last year in nov ... my personel choice was of Sony ..but under that influence of my friends I purchased samsung. Though I’m a strict hater of all korean products..I dont know what ruled my mind that time. They have a 3 year warranty plan and no wonder its their policy as I’m visiting their service centres often. And what response do I get?!..’’sir..it’s your personel mishandling..we always advice original samsung Cds and no cheap stuff from Palika’’....
’’We seldom get complaints of this nature’’...what the hell! they proved me a geek in 2 minutes..and no prises for the guess that problem still remains....
1# tray of the writer often gets stuck(its in history of samsung cd roms)
2# CDs written at 52-48X may or may not work well on other cd roms
3# copying cds to hard disks sometimes makes me frustated..may take 20 - 35 minutes(normal is around 7 minutes)
I think it goes to the service center ... and given back to me untouched...
I’ve started to hate the word samsung ....
My advice...let your CD slot be empty and use a 1.44 FDD than getting a samsung CD-anything...
