"Samsung's new SH-S203 is the faster DVD writer on the market giving users the ability to burn more data faster than ever before. This showcases Samsung's commitment to proving best-of-breed technologies that truly benefit the overall user experience." Targeted to consumers who require a DVD burner with blazing speed and advanced technology, Samsung's new SH-S203 offers the unique ability to burn at high speeds while reducing media cost. The drive features over speed recording, the ability to write with 20X speed on 16X media and 16X speed on 12X media. As lower speed media is more cost affordable than higher speed media, users can save money by using lower speed media while still reaping the benefit of recording at super fast burn times. The SH-S203 offers true 20X recording and with its improved speed can backup 4.7GB of data on a DVD+-R disc in about 4 minutes and 38 seconds, a 12% increase in speed from Samsung's prior 18X DVD burner. Samsung's SH-S203 also offers free software that allows consumers to easily create music, video, photo and data discs. In addition, the drive includes Samsung's Firmware Live Update that enables users to download the latest firmware upgrades for free. The SH-S203, as with Samsung's full suite of WriteMaster DVD drives, offers multiple high-end technologies providing best-in-breed performance including: Speed Adjustment Technology1, to match the speed to the functionality of the disc; Tilt Actuator Compensation2 (TAC 1. TAC - Translator Assembler-Compiler. For Philco 2000. 2. TAC - Terminal Access Controller. ) for preferred writing condition when interacting with the objective lens; and Double Optimum Power Control3, which balances the laser power on the sides of the disc for a better writing performance. Buffer Under Run Error4 is avoided by the power save attribute. The Automatic Ball Balancing System5 (ABS) further reduces vibration and noise. The drive is also eco-friendly and is RoHS compliant.
