Silent DVD burner from this shop

Post by _MarcoM_ » Tue Jan 06, 2009 6:22 am

Hi all!

I need to buy a new silent dvd burner for my Antec P150, had enough of my old eide-noise-maker drive.
This is the page of the available models:

I have to buy in this store, because I already buy other equipment in the same order :P

The optical drives are under "Masterizzatori & Lettori". Can't find a Pioneer drive there.

I've got an Asus SATA drive, but the EU models are all different, so I can't recommend any.

My Asus is pretty quiet most of the time. When it ramps up to max speed, there's a lot of whooshing, but the vibration isn't too bad (I've taken steps to dampen it).

Does it have to be a burner?

If not, take a look at this! -> Samsung SH-D162D Low noise RPC1 Firmware
Scan-C
Hi all!

This firmware is intended for use with the Samsung SH-D162D (TS-H352D) in DVD-Players like the Kiss or gaming consoles (it's running in my original Xbox). It's patched to run at the following speeds:

DVD-Rom: 4x
DVD+-R/RW: 4x
DVD+-R DL: 4x
CD-R/Rom: 8x

Other Patches:

RPC-1 by Mr.Shine

While testing I had the drive sitting on my hand and couldn't tell if it's spinning but the movie played so I guess it did

I have to thank Mr.Shine for releasing the RPC-1 patched firmware and ala42 for helping me patching the speeds.

As always: Use at your own risk!

And also this from the same guy. -> Samsung SH-D163B Low noise RPC1 Firmware
Attached file: SH-D163B_SB02_Low_noise_RPC1.zip (95.8 KB)

So here we have 2 potential quiet optical drives, one SATA and one IDE.
Some info about the Samsung SH-D163B
Some info about the Samsung SH-D162D :)

Here is an instruction on how to flash a Samsung drive. ;)
