Samsung crappy?

34erd · 10-07-2005, 04:26 AM

Does samsung make crappy drives because I just bought a samsung combo drive and I heard someone saying there optical drives suck... I had a sumsung combo drive that served me well for 3 years, but alot of people say they suck. So has anybody had good experiances?

I also bought there floppy drive, I hope that doesnt fail on me

I should have spent a bit extra on the NEC I guess.

There are worse makers like LG or BENQ but Samsung drives are nothing special either. Now i dont know what type of drive you're talking about so ill nail across the board
- CDRW ... nothing spectaular featurewise ... but for the price of kickass optical drives (say, LiteOn or ASUS) its not worth buying a Samsung
- CDRW-DVDROM ... again, you're better off considering a LiteOn or CDRW drive
- DVDRW ... i wouldnt go here, you can get far superior value from NEC/Pioneer, if you drop down a tier and consider LiteOn/ASUS, it's still a better deal
- DVDROM ... Samsung DVDROMs are actually pretty good, LiteOn/ASUS ROMs are slightly superior but 95% of the optical media population probaably wont notice
