Samsung Introduces New Slim Optical Disc Burners

Releases of new DVD burners are rare lately but Samsung keeps offering some new models, such as the new SE-218GN and SE-208GB optical disc drives, to Ultrabook users on-the-go.

The slim drivers are measuring 148.6 x 14 x 146mm (SE-208GB) and 148 x 14.4 x 143 (SE-218GN). They both feature a new external ODD design by placing the eject button on top of the case to make it easier for users to press the eject button instead of on the front bezel.

The drives support 8x and 24x max. burining speeds for DVDs and CDs, respectively.

Samsung's Smart Power Technology ensures low-power consumption, meaning that a single USB port is enough to keep the drives on. The drives can also act as a portable hard disk drive for tablets with available USB connections. Coupled with Samsung's AV Connectivity, tablet users can enjoy stored multimedia content.

The drives are also equipped with Smart Archive Technology to store personal data. This feature offers a recording quality that is optimized for DVDs that are used to store content for an extended time. The technology follows standard DVD formatting that is compatible with M-discs, archival discs (ISO10995 standard) as well as qualified normal discs.

The drives are compatible with all major operating systems including the new Windows 8 and latest Mac OS versions. Buffer Under Run technology prevents errors that can be caused when writing speeds exceed data transfer speeds, while also enabling PC multi-tasking.
