Samsung SH-S223B/SH-S223C testing and observations

adelphia83 · 05-07-2010

Does this drive support quality scanning in Nero CDSpeed? I remember not too long ago, the Samsungs worked fine for scanning as they were based on the same chipset as Lite-on and other scanning capable drives.

What chipset is the 223C based on? I changed all the registry settings (for 64 bit OS) to remove TSST drives from being blocked in Nero as I've done in the past.

The 223C is the exception since it does not have a Mediatek chipset. Not only scanning isn't supported, but also this drive cannot be patched.

Bought yesterday this semi-finished product with FW SB03 and upgraded to SB04. I burned some discs with SB03 and think that SB04 is even worse. If you care about your burned data, you don't buy this writer but if you like colorful artistic scan results, then you buy it

.
They didn't do anything, becouse, obviously, they can't correct this crappy burner with some programm code. Well spend 25$, NOT!!!

Since the scanning and patching applications don't handle the 223C's chipset, there won't be any improvement in that chapter. And there never will be.

Formerly, IDxx firmwares were marked "India Distribution" whatever this is good for.

Heh, forgot about that thread =) Should have checked first.

Cheers,

trekker99 · 26-02-2011

So, I finally bought a LiteOn iHAS324 B and used it to scan a DVD I burnt with SB06 firmware. It actually looks pretty good.

trekker99 · 28-02-2011

I also tried to burn a Verb DVD+R DL which I posted here: http://club.myce.com/f76/umedisc-dvd...0/#post2577256

trekker99 · 03-03-2011

After seeing some pretty good results, I tried with a MKM 001 DVD+R DL Made in Singapore. This drive doesn't seem all that bad anymore =)

For some reason my LiteOn doesn't do the transfer rate at the fastest speed for this media, so I also included the one done by the Sammy.

trekker99 · 06-03-2011

I just tried some RICOHJPN D01 burnt at 6x, and it is par for media of this type. (I already had a coaster from this spindle, it failed towards the end of the burn). The brand is E-blue, if anyone is interested. Not sure where it is made (not labelled), but it is prob MIC or MIT.

trekker99 · 07-03-2011

MKM media is still the best. This is a MIT Verbatim DVD+R DL. This was burnt at 10x.

trekker99 · 07-04-2011

Bought a batch of Verbatim Made In Singapore DVD-R DL MKM 01RD30. Burnt at 4x.

Compared to my LiteOn iHAS324B, its performance is really not very good esp in the 2nd layer.

omegaman7769 · 07-04-2011

I had a samsung drive like that one. It did best at higher speeds. Much like my 7240 and 7260S. They seem to prefer higher speeds. I only use 4X on my rewritable media.

Well the media is only rated for 4x and my LiteOn iHAS324 only burns it at 4x too,

Another burn with SH-S223C and firmware SB05 at 4x.
