Advantages: Works real well, Fast, plays DVDs and copys CDs

Disadvantages: DO NOT USE AS EXTERNAL DRIVE.

This is just a warning to everyone who would like to buy the Samsung SM308 CD-RW/DVD.

I have bought this driver and it works really well to play DVDs and copy CDs. I advice you to use PCFriendly DVD player and not PowerDVD which comes with it. You can get PCFriendly by renting The Matrix (the software can be installed from The Matrix DVD).

Also, DO NOT use the SM308 as an external driver as it will overheat and burn. I know this from experience. If you do use it as an external drive (usually with the Freecom box), then only use it for 2 hours, then let it cool down before using it again.

Just thought I'd let everyone know so you do not have to go through the hassle of getting a replacement by pretending the drive is faulty O:-)
