From Redump Wiki
Some disc formats require certain drive models to dump to Redump standards. This page aims to provide a comprehensive guide on which drives can be used for dumping various formats of optical media.
Contents |
DVD-Video / DVD-ROM
DVD-Video and DVD-ROM dumping is supported with virtually ANY drive that supports the DVD format. New discs should be dumped twice to verify matching hashes between the dumps.
CD-ROM / CD-Audio
Plextors ODDs: Easiest & Recommended
Proper CD dumping requires optical disc drives to support a range of features. Certain models of Plextor brand drives in particular are most compatible and reliable. Your drive should have the final firmware installed. The final firmware is linked below on archive.org for most models.
Recommended Plextor Drives:

Plextor Drives with Known Limitations (exercise caution, read notes before buying)

Plextor Drives with Severe Limitations (DO NOT BUY):
Some of these may be technically supported and capable of dumping certain types of CDs, but have various limitations or potential issues so are not recommended.
| Model | IDE | SATA | SCSI | USB | USB/Firewire | Notes | Multisession¹ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PX-40 | PX-40TS | Scrambled mode is slow | ? | ||||
| PX-W1210 | PX-W1210TS | Model may have firmware bugs that affect offset, needs to be looked into. | ? | ||||
| PX-W4220T | PX-W4220T | Model may have firmware bugs that affect offset, needs to be looked into. | ? |
¹ Multisession support is regarded as compatible and accepted through the Redumper dumping tool.
Notes regarding specific drives and capabilities
- IDE models can be used on laptops or desktops using a USB Adapter. UGREEN / Kingwin brands are often recommended but anything using the Innostor IS611 chipset (Googling "IS611 USB3.0-SATA+IDE Bridge Controller" will show several listings under different brand names) should work fine. Additionally a Desktop tower with a cheap card, or a 5.25" IDE USB enclosure (can be found on eBay or similar, but supply might be scarce) can also be used.
- SATA drives can be very hard to find or expensive, it's often easier to just buy an IDE model + IDE > USB adapter. Note that most adapters mentioned for IDE models also support SATA and can be used with these drives also.
- SCSI models can only be used with a Desktop tower with a cheap card (no laptops).
Suggested eBay search terms
To search ebay quickly, you can use the following searches. Only use one at a time, as otherwise the search text will be too long and it'll give an error.

- Dumps from the following drives will be accepted under the following circumstances:
- They are from CDs consisting only of a single data track
- They are verifications of Data CDs that also have audio tracks
- For pure Audio CDs, we are presently only accepting dumps made with redumper and drives from the list of Recommended Plextors above.
JB7 and older designs are not supported. Before buying any of drives below make sure the date of production is newer than 2015.05.08.

Not Recommended ODDs
NOTE: Dumps made using these drives will not currently be accepted. They should be purchased only by those willing to invest their time and money in testing and on the understanding that they may eventually prove to be incompatible for use by Redump.
GD-ROM
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.
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 above #CD-ROM_.2F_CD-Audio and follow the Disc Dumping Guide (MPF).
The HD Area dumping the process is different, and you need one of the drives below.
HD Area: GD-ROM (Pressed) - Recommended:
- Samsung TSSTCorp models:
- TS-H353A aka SH-D163A
- TS-H352C aka SH-D162C
HD Area: GD-R (Burned Preproduction) - Working to some at least extent (WARNING: needs significant additional testing):
- Plextor: PX-708A, PX-755A, PX-755SA, PX-4012TA[1]
- For additional research on compatibility, see Optical Disc Drive Compatibility for GD-ROM and GD-R Dumping.
