The SE-208GB is also equipped with Samsung's Smart Archive technology. With a 4.3GB DVD, it can take up to two and a half minutes for the SE-208GB to read the contents and convert the file system to FAT32 so that it can be used by AV devices. Furthermore, the number and size of the files determines the amount of time it takes the drive to recognize a disc. The number of files it can recognize is also limited to 3000 and they must be located in a directory no more than five levels deep. It only works with CD and DVD (except DVD-RAM) media using UDF or ISO-9660 file systems. Samsung's AV Connectivity technology does have its limitations. When you do this, the drive will be recognized as a USB memory device rather than an optical drive. To put the SE-208GB into AV Connectivity mode, simply hold down the eject button for 3 seconds while the tray is open. This unique feature lets you connect the drive to a TV, Android tablet or other AV device via USB and play back the music, pictures and videos stored on a CD or DVD.

The top of the drive has a glossy finish with a small, white Samsung logo printed along one of the edges. The body of the SE-208GB is constructed out of lightweight, black plastic. Measuring 148.6 x 14 mm x 146 mm, it's not much larger than a couple of jewel cases stacked on top of one another. The Samsung SE-208GB is one of the smallest DVD writers on the market today. At the time of this review, this is the only firmware available for the SE-208GB. The drive Samsung sent us for this review was manufactured in July of 2014 and had firmware TS00.
