Trusted Reviews reviewed the Samsung WriteMaster SH-W163 SATA DVD burner

Despite the fact that SATA has been with us for some time now, the IDE market is still pretty strong. There's no shortage of IDE hard disks
still available, and optical drives seem to be entrenched in the older
standard. I was therefore quite surprised when Samsung asked me if I'd like to review the World's first SATA DVD writer. I was surprised for two reasons one, because Samsung had produced a SATA drive and two, because Plextor had produced one over a year ago.
