What really surprised me was a design. It's not very good.
Though I guess, that it's not typically for this company. On Samsung sites
this drive, for some reason, looks different (see the small photo).
The CD contains the software, and it's quite good for a
recorder delivered OEM.
The usual front panel: one blinking indicator informing
of recording and reading, square open button, volume control, headphones
jack, emergency ejection hole. The drive can be installed both in vertical
and horizontal position.
While working, the drive whistles very quietly and vibrate
a little. The noise level is average in comparison with others. After
operating with a CD the drive warms up.
On Samsung site we have found in the drive specifications
that the record on 700 Mb CD is supported.
There is a digital output on the rear panel, and it's not
a surprise.
