5.0 out of 5 stars Happy as can be!, January 10, 2009

Do not know why this later model is cheaper than the others. Got it, plugged in, downloaded latest firmware, and tested it out. CD @ 3 min, DVD @ 6min. Lightscribe took 19 min, I used a photo to see the quality. I got this to replace the one in the laptop which has slowed down. For less money than an internal you get a lot more speed. I burn media at home so it is of no issue that it is external.

nunca habia comprado una unidad externa de cd pero la he probado y la verdad que me ha sorprendido con la rapidez y lo facil que fue la instalación con windows XP, la mejor opción en calidad-precio que existe en el mercado! la he usado de forma personal y la recomiendo!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mac Didn't See It - At First, January 25, 2009

By	R. Hatfield (Long Beach, CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After much internet research on DVD Writers for my MacBook, I picked the SE-S204N external unit. After it arrived I plugged it in and to my disappointment, my MacBook didn't recognize it. I went back to the Samsung website and looked for the USB driver to download. Samsung only has drivers for Windows. No Mac support! So now I'm doing the search for a third party app that will run on my MacBook and recognize the SE-S204N. I bought an Apple computer (1st time) to avoid the whole Windows PC installation nightmares. Looks like I should have stuck with a Windows laptop. At least SW support is readily available.

UPDATE: I found a download app that provided the lightscribe support for my MacBook. Now my MacBook can see this DVD Writer. iMovie and iDVD apps now see the SE-S204N external unit. I've played audio CDs and DVDs and its works great. Today I'll try burning some CDs and DVDs. More to follow...
