Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: Nintendo Gamecube & Wii
From Redump Wiki
Dumping retail GameCube and Wii is generally considered easier to do with a Wii console (see: Dumping Guide with a Wii Console), so you might want to start there.
However if you wish to dump with a PC (using the Nintendo GameCube and Wii Dumping Guide with a PC guide), see below for a compatible drive model.

| Samsung SE-506CB | Crediar's custom firmware | NR, RVT-R | Retail disc compatibility untested. Crediar says it can be used to dump NR discs slowly with Friidump and his custom firmware and dumping tool (latter not yet released) can be used for faster NR dumping, and RVT-R dumping. This drive model did not require the swap disc method. | |
