I Purchased A SATA DVD Writer - Samsung SH-S223F Around 2 Months Ago.

Used It To Burn A Few DVD's/CD's And All Was Fine. But Just The Day Before When I Used It To Write A DVD At 8x Speed And Another At 16x Speed Both The Times It Took Almost An Hour To Burn The DVD. The Writing Took Nearly 45 Min And The Verifying To Another 10-15 Mins.

The DVD Is Fine, No Errors, Nothing, But Then, Any Idea Why The Sudden Drop In Speed Of Burning A DVD?

It Is Running On Its Latest Firmware- SB03.
Is It A Problem cause Of DMA Or Something, Can I Check It?
When I Checked With Nero Tools It Shows DMA 5 Active On The Drive.

-> It Is A Firmware Problem, And It Can Be Solved Easily, Just Re-Patch Your Current Firmware With The Latest One.
