A list of optical disc drives compatible with dumping GD-ROM discs.

See also: Optical Disc Drive Compatibility

GDs contain two distinctly different "Areas" of data ("LD Area" and "HD Area"), separated by a ring. Both Areas are dumped with a separate process.

LD Area

For dumping the LD Area, the same rules apply as in dumping a CD as they use the same technology. The list of compatible drives for dumping LD Area is here.

HD Area

The HD Area dumping the process is different, use one of the recommended drives below:

  • HD Area: GD-ROM (Pressed) - (install Kreon firmware):
    • Samsung TSSTCorp models:
      • TS-H353A aka SH-D163A
      • TS-H352C aka SH-D162C
      • TS-H192C
  • HD Area: GD-R (Burned Preproduction) - Working to some at least extent (WARNING: needs significant additional testing):
