52X CDRW: MSI & SamsungThe current cream of the crop in CD writers sports 52X write, 24X rewrite, 52X read speeds - speeds that would have seemed unachievable only a few years ago. However, even as processors have defied old naysayers with seemingly unstoppable speed increases, the same has been seen in optical drive development.April 4th, 2003

![]() Samsung SM-332 Combo Drive ReviewAt home I have a system that can support a limited number of available IDE devices, and I already have 3 Hard Drives and a CD-RW drive. Now the problem is that I have always wanted to watch DVD movies on this system, which has an otherwise good speakers and decent monitor. My friend has a Small Form Factor system, and he's faced with a similar problem: he just doesn't have the room to fit both a CD-RW burner and a DVD-ROM.January 27th, 2003
![]() 40x CD Writer Shootout2002 is possibly the best year so far for CD burning. Twice this year weve seen some serious advances to burning speeds and now the average drive being pushed by manufacturers is a sizzling 40X (with the 48X speed burners already being released by some pioneers).

Samsung SW212 12x8x32x CDRW ReviewWith 16x drives coming onto the market the price of 12x drives will soon be plunging due to the unstoppable forces of market satuaton. Into this fray jumps Samsung with their SW-212, a 12/8/32 CD-RW drive.

Will this be enough to cover Samsung's gambit? Will their drive rise to fame as the king of 12x Burners or will it plunge into the depths of Buffer Underrun hell? Read this article to find out.April 19th, 2001
Samsung SM304 DVD/CDRW Combo ReviewDVD/CD-RW drives are quickly becoming more prevalent; and for good reason, too. DVD is the new standard for removable data, and most new computers now come equipped with a DVD drive, however a CD burner is still necessary for users who want to be able to distribute large data files and to support the huge installed base of CD-ROM drives. A combination DVD and CD-RW drive like the SM-304 would seem to fit these needs easily in a single, easy to use package.April 18th, 2001

AOpen CRW1232 CDRW Drive ReviewThe AOpen CRW1232A is a 12x10x32x drive the same speed as the Iomega ZipCD that we recently reviewed. One of the major differences between these two drives is that the AOpen drive uses Ricohs JustLink technology and the ZipCD makes use of Sanyos BURN-Proof technology. These technologies may have different names, but they share a common goal: to rid the CD-burning process of the revolting buffer-underrun.March 22nd, 2001

Antec Datachute PCI ReviewPCMCIA is a standard port available on all laptop computers, but it hasnt quite caught on in the desktop market. Since the PCMCIA slot is viewed as a sort of replacement for PCI and ISA slots found in the desktop, it would be redundant on a regular computer.
