Hey guys im in the market to buy a PC drive that will work with WxRipper and wanted to know which drives do actually work and that are successful in making backups. I already know getting the SS.bin of the game as of yet can only be done with the actual drive from your 360 so I'm not worried about that.  I know not all PC Drives work so I wanted to know which drives are you guys using to make your backups.... Oh and can you guys preferably mention ATA drives that work (My comp doesnt have a SATA motherboard)... Thanks in advance...

I suggest to buy a samsung SH-162C and flash it with Kreon's fw (latest is 0.60) and then you can use the drive
to create game isos without  hotswap and things like that

hope I could help you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I just use my Pioneer DVR-110D. Instead of taking the drive apart to hotswap, I just use the emergency eject hole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So does the samsung SH 162 drive rip the ss key too if not whats the point of using it if you have to then use the 360 drive to get the key?

You just download the Security Sectors from the internet. If you have the original game and flashed firmware (but you are using that samsung drive to extract the backups), then theres nothing "bad" about download SS's. I doubt i can give the links here, but im sure some wordings in google would help (just remember that if you are american, you need the NTSC american SS's, or the PAL-UK if you are from england or the PAL-A if you are australian, etc)

TS-D162C or TS-H352C
either can be flashed with kreon FW

How is the LG DVD-ROM GDR-8164BK drive work. Is it as good as the Samsug drives. They seem a little easier to find in North America.

Since the story of the new firmware, the TS-D162C or TS-H352C has skyrocketed in price here in the USA i'm not interested in getting one of those... SS Key extraction isn't really an important factor for me either.. I just want a cheap DVD Drive (Preferably $20 or under) that will be able to extract game images using the WxRipper method.

It doens't matter whether I have to take apart the drive and use the hot swap trick or the eject hole trick as either would do just fine.. I just want to know which drives actually work with the WxRipper method...

Can't find any of the drives mentioned in this thread in the UK, anyone got any that can rip and are available in the UK?

I picked up the Sony DRU-1601 (I'm at work so I can't verify the model number) for my PC. It is a standard DVD-Rom drive. Snagged it for $20 off Ebay and I have one that has the cover off and one that I leave in my PC. If I need to rip a game I just switch the IDE cables, reboot & go to work. Works fine with Wxripper and a Large DVD Movie in size. I currently use Terminator 2 Extreme Edition as the swap disc.

Just remember that Wxripper will not rip Xbox 1 games for 360 use. You have to use the 360 drive itself.

Thats crazy, I think i'm going to get a samsung so i dont have to do the dreeded hotswap, as long as i can get the ss from the drive or online i think i'll be fine, that is after i fix my 360. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Can anyone confirm if the Samsung copies the SS key?

[senator]

YES !!!   With Kreons 0.8 firmware and Schtrom360 2.1, just use the whole disc xtreme 3 stealth setting and don't worry about the ss.bin not supported error it does extract it in the image, you can check it by extracting the ss.bin after the image has been ripped, it does work the app needs updating.  Also extracts the video image,DMI, PFI aswell in stealth setting obviously,use the inject extract tools to check if required.
