Features:
While unboxing the SE-S084 I realized that even though the box is tiny, it could really be cut down to almost half as thick and still safely hold the burner inside! When it's completely unboxed, you're left with a mere four items; the burner, a USB cable, a CD and a quick install guide [simply a folded sheet of paper, not an actual booklet].

The burner itself is just a thin as it looks, it's only 1.5cm tall, 14cm wide and 15cm long. The top and bottom are both black and the edges are a ribbed-textured dark gray plastic. I should note that the top is actually a gloss piano black, something they didn't bother doing to the bottom because it will more than likely be against your desk anyway's. If you're a little more adventurous, the SE-S084 is available in seven vibrant colours to satisfy your personal preference, mood, or the colour of your netbook.

The tray on the front is ejected using the big round eject button in the middle. The read/write/access LED is seen just to the left of the button as well. If for some reason you loose power or get a stuck tray, then you can use a paperclip in the manual release hole seen to the right of the eject button.

The back is really quite simple; there's a USB plug right in the middle and that's it! You can also see how the plastic has a drilled out grill to help with heat dissipation.

Installation:
Just like USB hard drives, most USB optical drives are plug and play - the SE-S084 as well. The included CD simply has an 18-language user manual and some Nero Express software on it to get you burning right away. Using Samsung's Firmware Live Update utility, you can make sure the drive is always on top of it's game when it comes to supporting new media and burn speeds.
