| The Bottom Line | Samsung's low-priced SW-252 offers top-notch CD-R performance, a great out-of-box experience, and 24/7 phone support, making it a good buy for beginners. | Samsung's SW-252FRNS delivers a terrific out-of-the-box experience and great support, but it lags in performance behind Lite-On's less expensive LTR-52327S. | |||
