Opinions on Samsung Super-WriteMaster DVD/CD writer/reader

[George]

Am using a Dell 8250 Dimension PC, Windows XP-pro, and replacing the older
CD RW / DVD-player with a newer one. About to purchase one at Micro Center,
seems a good deal, and good unit, described below. Want to use for everyday
CD reading, CD data/music burning, DVD burning of movies in particular, etc.
Wondered if others might know...

Is this as good as any?

Does this have most all the latest capabilities (except Blu Ray, not
interested in)

Anyone have any problems with this unit or this Samsung brand?

Thanks,
George

==========================================
FWIW...my 3 yr. old computer is a PowerSpec from Micro
Center and it has two Samsung WriteMaster DVD drives...
I've had no problems with them.
