"According to Samsung, the SM-348B has a suggested retail price of only $129. At this price, the SM-348B is a great choice for anyone looking for a combo drive with some of the fastest speeds available."
Kind of expensive don't you think, you can get a 4X DVD-R/RW for $150 after MIR, and it writes to CDR/CDRW too albiet slower (16X? I dunno my 2X Pioneer DVDR only writes CD's at 8X)
