Performance
In our tests the Samsung TS-H552U was able to compete with both the Sony DRU-700A and the MSI DR-16B DVD writers. And although the TS-H552U is suppose to have faster write speeds than the two other drives; it was a pretty close race in most of the tests with only a few seconds difference in most instances. In our Dual layer tests, the TS-H552U clearly smashed the competition due to its faster 5X writing capabilities. Both the Sony and MSI drives are limited to only a 2.4X write speed, although both companies now have drives capable of writing dual layer media at 4X so we would expect the gap to close quite a bit.
