Samsung India launched a DVD writer, which is claimed to be the industry's fastest writer with 22X recording capability. The new Super-WriteMaster SH-S223 is available in the Indian market.

With over-speed recording, users can write at 22X speeds on 16X media and 12X speeds on 8X media. As lower speed media is more cost-effective, users can save money while burning discs at faster speeds.

The SH-S223 drive provides blazing recording speeds across a gamut of different data media types including: 22X DVD±R recording, 12X DVD-RAM recording, 16X DVD+R Dual Layer recording, 12X DVD-R Dual Layer recording, 8X DVD+RW recording and 6X DVD-RW recording.

It enables consumers to burn 4.7GB on a DVD±R disc in approximately 4 minutes and 26 seconds, a 6 percent increase in speed compared to a 20X DVD writer. It also takes less than 12 minutes to burn 4.7GB in DVD-RAM format, which is a 30 percent increase in speed over a 20X DVD drive. The SH-S223 drive supports SATA interface, the dominant interface for PCs.

It includes free software, enabling users to easily create music, video, photo and data discs. The drive also includes Samsung's live firmware update program that enables users to download new firmware upgrades for free and keep their drives updated.

It features technologies including SAT (Speed Adjustment Technology), TAC (Tilt Actuator Compensation) and Double OPC (Optimum Power Control). Buffer Under Run Free Technology supports stable writing under high speed, and Magic Speed and ABS (Automatic Ball Balancing System) technologies reduce vibration and noise.

The SH-S223 is designed to be eco-friendly and is RoHS compliant. It is available at the price of Rs. 1700 (US$41).
