For the SE-218BB's software bundle, Samsung has turned to Nero. The CD that comes with the drive contains a stripped down version of the Nero 10 Essentials suite which includes Nero Express, Nero BackItUp and Nero CoverDesigner.
Nero Express - With Nero Express, Nero has taken the features and performance people have come to expect from Nero Burning Rom and combined them with a user friendly interface. Designed to maximize ease-of-use, Nero Express gives users the ability to quickly and easily burn audio, data and video to CD or DVD.
Nero BackItUp - If you're looking for a quick and easy way to backup your data, BackItUp is the answer. The software protects your data by backing it up to hard drive, memory card, optical disc or network share. Along with an easy, one-click Autobackup option, BackItUp can be scheduled to do full, differential and incremental backups of select files or entire hard drives.
Nero CoverDesigner - Nero CoverDesigner is a powerful application for creating custom cover elements such as booklets, inlays and labels. Nero CoverDesigner supports cover elements for a wide range of disc types, such as CD jewel cases, DVD cases, multi-boxes, maxi CDs, slim packs, business cards and more. Nero CoverDesigner also supports LightScribe and Labelflash recorders, which you can use to print labels directly on compatible media.
While small in size, Samsung's new portable DVD writer isn't short on features. Along with a good looking, ultra thin design, the SE-218BB offers some of the fastest reading and writing speeds available on a portable unit. The drive is capable of 8x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 6x DVD±R DL and 5x DVD-RAM writing speeds and a maximum DVD read speed of 8x. The SE-218BB also includes features like Samsung's AV connectivity technology, Super Link buffer underrun protection and a USB 2.0 interface that provides power for the drive. With all of this, it's easy to see why the Samsung SE-218BB gets a solid 9 out of 10 for its features.
