I wouldn't advise any Samsung CD/DVD ROM/Writer. They have a tendency to become 'Dhakka Start' after some months of usage. What I mean is that once ejected that have to be physically pushed back in slightly so that the drive realises that it's time to take the tray back in and start doing it itself. The insert/eject button works once in 4-5 times while inserting.
I agree Samsung CDwriters suck. I am another unhappy user.
When i purchased a new samsung writer, my hardware vendour did something with my old samsung cdrom drive, and now its working just fine. He said that he cut and removed an unnecessary cable or shaft like something and now its tray works ! He claims even samsung's support personnel are unaware of this trick...
