Intro: SamsungŪ's Combo Drive sets a certain standard with 48x CD Read Speed, 48x CD Record Speed, 24x CD Rewrite Speed and 16x DVD Read Speed

Pros: SamsungŪ's range of drives have always been affordable and this one is no exception. A solid performer with a very good track record and high reliability. Neat, clear cut design which looks pretty cool on your PC with a row of SamsungŪ drives.

Cons: The CD Record Speed is 48x but underperforms by a few miliseconds compared to other high-end drives in the market.
