Samsung's new portable BD combo drive performed as expected throughout most of our tests. The SE-406A had no problems playing back Blu-ray movies and was relatively quick when reading BD-R, BD-RE and BD-R DL media. The drive also did reasonably well in our CD and DVD read tests. While its access times were a little higher than I would have liked, it read both data and audio CD's at 24x and single layer data DVD's at 8x. Writing CD's and DVD's wasn't a problem for the SE-406A either. For a portable drive, it turned in some respectable times and the writing quality was fairly good with most CD-R and DVD±R media.
