i got a new dvd writer a couple of days back. here are the results of the drive test conducted on Nero 7. what do you say??

i feel the cpu consumption is a little high. is it supposed to be that high or is it something unusual??

i read some article regarding that , the only advantage is SATA cables look cool and PATA is past interface....there will not be much speed increase in SATA....as it costs only 300 more go with SATA....

samsung really s**ks in the firmware upgrade department.they release a new firmware after a very long interval of time.i got samsung dvd writer a year back but got no update till now.
