Addendum
jan70
please, could you update your TS-E552U review
to include the traxdata DVD+R DL test with the US04 fimware??!!
,please

This review must have been posted while I was mostly absent in front of any computer. My daughter's growing fast so I don't have much time to stay near computers. TS-E552U drive is being sold in Europe but not in Asia, at least not in the countries I looked at. TS-H552U isn't in South Korea, either, but I have US04 firmware on my TS-H552B. Thanks for the review, Jan.

BTW, my TS-H552B with US04 firmware still does not work with CD-DVD Speed 3.75's Disk Quality test PIE/PIF scan tests. The "Start" button is disabled when I scan DVD disks. With CD disks, it works but only C1 is not working so pretty useless.

@kenshin
did you try US05

Oh? US05 is already out?

I have just tried US05. After running CD Speed 3.75 with US05, I went back to US03. Both firmware versions in CD Speed 3.75 did not work well for Disk Quality tests.

Oh man, if you hate someone on earth, you recommend a Samsung DVD-writer to him.

After I read that 2 reviews I´m sure you can´t get a more worse writer

Well, you hated Samsung long before you read those reviews. Such comments are hardly helpful to anyone. What you said is hardly a summary of what CDRLabs said in their conclusion.

Now I´m sure you Kennyshin from Cdrlabs.

I DON´T hate Samsung. I like their Monitor´s and DDR-RAM´s.

But in optical drives Samsung is one of the worst manufacturer, you can see it in almost every review and of course, if you read some experience from the users. Only BTC seems to be a challenger with bad drives.

You´re a Samsung-fanatic, I have read some of your threads:

"Samsung wants to be No. 1 in everything"

Who cares? I hope (and know) with quality like that Samsung will never be No. 1 in optical drives. The 552B was a real bad writer, the 552U seems to be more worse. In the c´t-magazine the Samsung was tested and had with DVD+R DL the worst quality index that ever happened in a review: -863


And I know, that beeing fanatic is not good for anyone, even for you.

I know you know much about optical-drives, but you´re to biased if it comes to a korean manufacturer like Samsung

in CDFreaks.com they say samsung released an update on TS-H552U
will DVD-R x16 => DVD-R x12 is not an upgrade !?
it's downgrade
