Samsung has announced it is shipping what it’s calling the “world’s fastest” DVD burner in the form it its Super-WriteMaster SH-S203N internal PC DVD Burner.

“Samsung’s new SH-S203N is an all-in-one powerhouse that provides not only the fastest recording speeds on the market, but also built-in labeling technology that saves time and expense over the life of the drive,” said Richard Aguilera, western regional sales manager for Samsung’s Storage Division, in a statement.
In addition to 16× dual-layer recording, the SH-203N supports 20× DVD±R recording 12× DVD-RAM and DVD-R dual layer recording, 8× DVD+RW recording, and 6× DVD-RW recording.

The SH-203N should be available from retailers now for about $79.99
