Samsung SH-D163A / Samsung SH-D162C

[FPSRock]

I hear that these are the drives to get Samsung SH-D163A or Samsung SH-D162C Flashed with Kreon's Latest Firmware for backing up 360 Games, Considering i cant not get my TS Drive to show up in Windows XP, it use to show up before but when i moved up to 1.0 i tried using enable 0800 burnt on a Dual Layer disk and nothing,

so can anyone recommend where i can get one of these drives and which one is the better drive the D163A or the D162C, No Ebay i cant use Ebay, also i live in the USA, thanks for any help with this matter

I believe you want to try and get the SH-D163A just becuz i have read that other people were having problems with the SH-D162C as it is an older model and some others had problems trying to get it to read in Windows Xp i believe, now y'all can tell me if i wrong on this Damn too bad there isnt a popular drive out there that isnt so hard to find and works with kreons FW

S Drive to show up in Windows XP, it use to show up before but when i moved up to 1.0 i tried using enable 0800 burnt on a Dual Layer disk and nothing,

iXtreme firmwares are not for ripping anyways. Have to move down to older fw like 5.3 to create backups.

thanks Redline, but can i make back ups with one of these Samsung Drives SH-D163A or SH-D162C, instead of using my 360 DVD drive which is a TS?, and if anyone knows where i can pick one up it would be helpful lol

thanks again

Both of those drives will work, you can pick them up from eBay...eBay is the best place for those drives just search for Kreon and you'll get what you want

holly guacamolly!!!!! dude take it easy on the poor guy lol

[notherbastard]

dude. its only gigabite..

No, i haven;t been here a long time, no, i haven't posted a lot,  but i read....... LOTS.

Every forum has atleast one person who, while trying to be helpful, is not.

Now,  with 996 posts at time of my writing,  he should know better than to just read the last post in a thread and then reply, because, if he had read the whole thing, all what 6 posts ? he would have seen in the 1st one -

no ebay..

Here you go.  A simple google search revealed this.  Ships from Chicago, IL.  A little pricey, but it's no better than the prices on eBay if you were to buy from there.  Even comes preflashed.

The D163A would be better, since it's SATA.  But other than that, there is very little difference.

Thanks to all you guys for your input, i went ahead and purchased the SH-D162C the one that do0my posted the link for, thank you for finding that for me much appreciated, i know its IDE but you guys say it should work fine, will give it a go when i recieve it, Peace to all

Thanks again

FPSRock - Just a heads up... also consider buying a usb2 external adapter to put that drive in.  That seems to solve a lot of issues with that drive.

162c works fine. Just set XBC2_5 to read speed of 8x or 10x and you shouldn't have any probs. (I get occasional read errors when set at default speed of 12x)

I was thinking more along the lines of a decent enclosed one that is powered and all.
Kinda like this or similiar designs:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010090092+1053807122&name=5.25%22

Avg price around $35 or so

btw this drive should be hooked up to my chassis of my system shouldnt it, for grounding purposes?, or will it work just the same with it sitting ontop of my computer?
