Samsung SH-S202J is a great new burner from Samsung. It is quiet, fast, and the tray operates smoothly. It works seamlessly with K3B in Linux, burning 4.2GB of data in 6 minutes including session closing.

The first one of these I bought came DOA, but I just let NewEgg know about it, and they shipped me a new working one for free. Brilliant! I highly recommend you pick one up if you’re in the market.

One of the reasons I bought a new burner was the 200 discs I currently have that my old burner is incompatible with. I know now that at least 100 of those will work, since I sampled from a previosly non-working stack for the results above.
