all right my theme of boring unboxings today continues today I will be unboxing
0:05
a Samsung SATA DVD writer now this model
0:08
is the sh s223 but this is meant more as
0:12
an unboxing to be an illustration of exactly what constitutes an oem DVD
0:17
drive so as you can see in the product description here I'm just going to go
0:21
ahead and take it out of the box okay well the bag whatever you want to call
0:25
it it's basically just the model name DVD writer SATA black OEM be able to
0:30
read that if the O wasn't cut off by a barcode so what OEM means is this is
0:34
what you get you get a drive original equipment manufacturer you do not get
0:39
any mounting screws you do not get any SATA cables what you get is a functional
0:43
drive at an extremely good price because most OEM units are going to cost less
0:47
than half of what you'd pay for a retail drive and considering the fact that when
0:50
you're building a system your case is going to come with all of the screws you'd need to mount a bunch of optical
0:55
drives anyway they don't bother to provide that stuff your motherboard
0:58
comes with SATA cables and so on and so on you get the point so the only thing
1:02
that these drives tend to come with is a bag an elastic holding the bag shut
1:06
which mine doesn't even have and a quick installation guide so you can see they
1:10
show you unplug your computer from the wall slide in the drive plug in the
1:14
power and Off to the Races now something
1:17
that they sometimes come with is like a trial or demo or partial version of a
1:22
burning software this particular one does not but some of them do thank you
1:26
for checking out my unboxing of the sh- S2 223 and in pretty much all EMD Drive
1:32
DVD drives cuz they're all going to look the same 5 and 1/4 in Drive there's your
1:36
mounting holes I guess I haven't really done this in detail enough there's your
1:39
button to open it up and there at the back is where you will find the SATA
1:43
interface power and data
