Samsung's Super-WriteMaster SH-S202 comes with Nero's Recode software. It doesn't just rely on the merits of its bundled software, though, as it's also very quick at burning discs.

This was the only internal DVD writer capable of writing DVD-R discs at 11X. It managed 7.69X when burning double-layer DVD-R discs, the fastest in the group.

It was also one of the quickest internal drives burning rewritable DVDs, especially DVD+RW discs. It fell behind the other internal writers when burning DVD+R discs with 9.57X, though it wasn't far behind its faster rivals.

Although the WriteMaster's DVD+R performance wasn't the best in the group, it's still a fast DVD writer with some useful software at a low price. It's our Best Buy internal DVD writer.
