Toshiba Samsung SU-208 8X DVD Burner
The Toshiba Samsung SU-208 is an 8X tray-loading DVD burner built for desktop PCs. It writes DVD+R and DVD-R at 8X, DVD+R DL at 6X, DVD-R DL at 4X, and DVD-RAM at 5X. CD-R and CD-RW recording reaches 24X. A silver aluminium front bezel matches standard drive bays.
Ideal for optical archiving
This drive suits users who still write DVDs for data backup, video projects, or bootable media. It reads DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, and all common CD formats at up to 24X. Builders needing Blu-ray read or write capability should choose a different drive. Systems without a 5.25-inch bay cannot install this unit.
8X maximum DVD write speed decides fit
The 8X DVD+R and DVD-R write rate is the key figure for burn time and media compatibility. Double-layer DVD+R writes at 6X while DVD-R DL writes at 4X. DVD-RAM support at 5X adds cartridge-based archiving. If your workflow demands faster DVD writing or Blu-ray support, this model will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
How fast can this 8X DVD burner write dual-layer discs before it slows down?
It writes DVD+R DL at 6x and DVD-R DL at 4x, the highest sustained speeds listed for double-layer media.
Does the aluminium tray-loading drive stay quiet and cool during long burning sessions?
The 145 g aluminium chassis and slim 9.5 mm profile help dissipate heat, and tray-loading mechanisms typically run quieter than slot-load designs.
What mounting space and screws do I need to install this 128 mm by 129 mm internal drive?
It fits a standard 9.5 mm slimline bay measuring 128 mm wide by 129 mm deep and uses the usual M2 screw holes for that form factor.
