Samsung Electronics
Samsung Electronics is a maker of compact disc (CD) reader and writers, Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) reader and writers and later on BluRay Discs from late 2001 up to mid 2015 for laptop and desktop personal computers thru its subsidiary Samsung Electronics Philippines Manufacturing, Corporation. Its customers were Foxconn, Quanta, Compal, Winstron, CPC, Toshiba, Asus, Acer, Dell, Lenovo (IBM), Samsung Computers, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and to some extent Apple Computers. The Research and Development (R&D) is initially conducted by Samsung Electronics in Incheon, South Korea and later on by a locally setup (Philippine) R&D within the same factory complex. The CD reader and writer technology progressed into DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD Dual Layer+R to which significant expansion of the factory was done to cope with ever increasing demands from the overseas Customers. The pinnacle of the optical disc drive technology culminated with the BluRay standard consequently finalized when Toshiba conceeded its High Definition (HD) DVD format. The advent of flash drives and SSD contributed to the demise of the optical disc drive (ODD) technology and further worsened by the increasing market share of tablets, netbooks and even laptops that do not have installed ODD from factory. Likewise, the modern internet with higher bandwidths contributed to the decrease in the use of ODD for data storage and shift of multi media consumption to cloud-based computing and social media. I find it surprising that the Samsung Electronics' contribution to the ODD technology is not even mentioned in the article "Samsung Electronics". I will gladly contribute my working experiences in Samsung Electronics ODD Division if there are no legal impediment in sharing this information.
