Samsung S20xx & Sony DRU-840A Fast Burn and Fast Read Patched Firmware
Official Thread

Fast Burn (-FB):
Fast Burn uses P-CAV for 12x burning with both +R and -R media. Now 12x burning takes around 6 minutes, a saving of around 1:20 over the stock 12x CAV burn.

Fast Read (-FR):
Fast Read converts the 16x read speed to an 18x read speed. Reading has proved to be very reliable at this speed in the latest MTK drives. To date I haven't found a disc that will read at 16x, that won't read at 18x. Tools that report the read speed will still show the drive as a 16x reader and the next lower read speed is 12x.

A Fast Read only version is also provided in the packed file.

Note: Results can still be posted in the normal scans threads but please state that the FastBurn firmware was used.

Thanks to all the testers and an extra thanks to NewFish for the attached scans.

NOTE: Please now see the Patch Utility for Samsung firmware here:

Thanks C0deKing.

FastBurn 12x P-CAV looks very promising, adding yet another dimension to these burners.

Might be my drive, but after a transfer rate test (CD/DVD Speed) drive takes longer time to spin-down then with stock firmware.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Nice to see the faster 12x burns though.

...once or twice, but that was with the stock fw. Maybe it's a quirk triggered by something I was doing. Or maybe I have a weird drive.

This fw shaved about a minute from my 12x burn times.

It has always taken both of my 203's a long time to spin down with stock FW.

Thanks for the very nice present C0deKing will be installing it here shortly.

Well done C0deKing! You are a superb patcher!
I hope it will be possible to apply these patches to other drives too and maybe, just maybe, to Omnipatcher supported drives .

Modded FW for any SH-S18x drive would be nice, but we're veering off topic here.

LOL you don't stop

I need to save some money first, I'm cleared out after the last PC-related binge

Seriously though, these new firmwares of C0deKing's are looking good, yet another reason to get one.

A question about FB. What could be the reason that TSST engineers decided to use the slow CAV mode instead of a faster mode? I don't think they liked applying a non-competitive 12x burn time, but they should have some serious reasons to apply it.

I double that.

[If Sony gets the chance to release SS01 soon, maybe CK will consider patching it? Pretty please? ]
