Samsung's SH-203N DVD Burner Burns Dual Layer at 16x
Posted by Jason Chen at 8:00 AM on October 30, 2007
Samsung's Super-WriteMaster may not be the fastest burner for regular DVD+Rs (Line-Ons can burn 20x too), but its dual-layer burning seems to be tops. Jumping up from an 10-12x found in other burners, the SH-203 has 16x dual-layer burning, along with 20x for DVD+ and -R, 12x DVD-RAM, 8x DVD+RW and 6x DVD-RW. It runs off a SATA interface so make sure your computer was made some time after the second Spider-man movie before picking one up for $79. [Samsung via DigitalTrends]

Samsung burners are great. Got 2 in my main rig now (18X DVD Burner and a Combo Drive). Any PC I've built for others with them have been problem free for years (no coasters due to hardware). Not that "Line-Ons" aren't nice, too ;-)
But I haven't seen any DVD DL media rated faster then 8X lately. Are there any reviews out yet to see if 8X media can be run faster in this drive?
Seems by the time high-speed DL is common, HD burners will be more affordable.
