I placed it into my cart and suddenly Amazon increased the price by $5 that is more than 10%.
Thus I am not buying.
Later:
Amazon just lowered the price back to the original – I may buy. The price machinations are a shame – now the price was dropped since the people cannot get it with free shipping for Christmas, thus they would have to pay the shipping.
It is basically the Toshiba drive as the other Samsung drives.

I purchased a Samsung USB 2.0 8x dvd writer external optical drive nearly a month ago. It was installed to a usb slot with 2 usb slots necessary to make it function. Next was to install the external slim DVD writer C/D that came with the unit. absolutely nothing happened, except the unit’s drive sped up until I finally rejected the c/d.( Lucky for me, I engaged a tech writer (This guy worked with Paul allen and bill gates in arizona, before the company became a success) to help me install this writer, and he could not complete the installation using the ” writer disk supplied by Sam sung. The computer that was to have the installation was an Acer aspire note book recently purchased. (meaning there were no glitches with the computer from previous use.) At this writing, I have a new Sam-sung USB writer that has never been used, and to the best of my knowledge, is most likely not to be returned because of time restrictions. I am just a consumer, but the tech person is a professional who can be reached at sandy [...]. My frustration level with this product has gone past full tilt boogie, but I may just try it again in the months to come, when I cool off sufficiently. In the mean time it just clutters up a space on the back of my desk. I am no longer order prorifials from after markets, as most do not function to any level of satisfaction. TG

In case Samsung hasn’t heard not everybody who purchases there products is a computer expert. Easy to use directions included with products was common practice until computers came along. Nothing about this Samsung DVD Burner was easy for me. I felt like I was playing a computer game…and losing. I had to ask a friend of mine with better computer skills to help download the DVD Burner Program.
He left me with the Nero software and that is where my problems continued. I couldn’t find a decipherable set of instructions anywhere so I asked another friend to help me. After fifteen minutes of trying to solve Nero he started shaking his head and suggested that I just use my Roxio. And guess what ,HE HAS A DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE!!! If he has problems with this abomination how am I suppose to deal with it!
I had the Samsung DVD Burner for a week before I was able to burn a DVD! It looks like I’m the one who got burned.
Manufacturers if you make a product be sure that the customer has a usable set of directions!
