Will this dvd drive burn XGD3?

[ConnorLJ]

Hi!

This is my first post so bare with me as I dont really know what I'm talking about!

Anyway, I have a computer with a tsstcorp sh-s223c DVD drive, it burns XGD2 fine, but I was woundering will this drive burn XGD3? I put the drive name into google and found a post of someone on another website saying they have succesfully burned XGD3 using this drive, however then it suddenly stops working for them. I don't want to waste discs before asking and was always taught, there is no harm is asking!

I believe the drive is a Samsung aswell if that helps.

Many thanks,

Connor.

Most likely no. An iHas drive is strongly recommended for quality and reliability

i dont think there are any sammy drives crossflashable to ihas at present. therefore a successful 100% burn of an xgd3 backup wont be possible with that drive matey. if you cant get an ihas then its possible to crossflash one of the following with burnermax
ASUS
DRW-24B3LT
DRW-24B3ST
DRW-24B1LT*
DRW-24B1ST*

Dell
PLDS DH-16ABS

HP

DVD1260i*

Lite-On

I am sorry but I read somewhere that buffer should be 2mb for beeing able to flash IHAS Fw but this drive oASUS DRW-24B3LT only seems to have 1.5 mb buffer??

eBay would be a good starting point, that's where I got mine from and if you don't what to flash the drive yourself they have them on there already done for you

There have been C versions of the 24B3LT showing up lately... it's possible that's what you have in your hands. Best way to know for certain is look at the label.
