LG, Lite-On or ASUS best for MDISC burning?
 

Qual cabo adaptador SATA/USB eu devo comprar para usar meu drive leitor/ gravador de DVD interno SATA em USB fora do PC?

what is your recommendation for me internal ou external drive? I have to choose one of the brands that supports M-DISC Do you recommend LG, Lite-On or ASUS?

Can any of those exact models allow burn scans?

I don't know but they are just DVD drive burn and read

What type SATA / USB adapter cable should I buy to use my internal USB SATA DVD reader / writer drive outside the PC?

I'm going to have to create custom responses that only Site Staff can use. Usually it's for certain repetitive topics, but it will be for certain repetitive people as well.

... followed by a thread lock. :lock:

I'm not joking. My time is too thin for this. You're not banned because you ask good question. But you ask the same question over and over and over a gain. STOP IT!

please don't do this to me i need to buy a drive and i don't know which cable to choose to use the internal outside the pc and the brand i mentioned

excuse

I don't know offhand either.

I have all 3 brands of DVD or BD burner.
- LG is cheap, usually fine, but I don't like LG as much. But don't let my preference influence here.
- Asus is more finicky. At one point, I think Asus rebadged (maybe still does?), and maybe Pioneer some years ago?
- LiteOn is all over the place.

Again, I'd search for details on which drives (if any) allows useful scanning. That's be my pick these days.

The problem = I don't have current data on the newest drives.
Newest media, yes.
Newest drives, no.
I am exactly 5 years outdated on drives. In 2021, spring/summer, I'll surely correct this. But not now. Busy.

If not looking for scanning, then price would be factor. Burning won't be much different.

At one point, LG was only M-DISC drive. But now? I don't know. Look at the specs of the drives.

I don't know which one to choose because maybe they have better or worse readers and some brand burns better and has better error correction but these 3 brands read mdisc

on the sata / usb3.0 cable can you supply enough power to power an internal drive?

ASUS
model: DRW-24F1MT (90DD01Y0-B30030)

What are all 3 exact models?
I'll do about 2 minutes apiece for some Google-fu for you, few things I can quickly look at.

At the moment I would have to search other LG and LiteOn models but the model that was easier to find was this model from ASUS it is at a good price but I never used ASUS

I thought that this choice was directly linked to the brand and not the model but these 3 brands are the only ones with M-DISC support

has the status of the adapter cable to power the internal drive

Lordsmurf thanks for your patience and help

That Asus is probably fine. Current burners don't differ much. Not bad, not excellent, but all moderate, commodity items now. It's not like when we had Samsung, Pioneer, Plextor, BTC, BenQ (all good drives), along with lots of not-good drives. My BenQ is sadly failing now, Pioneers have all failed, maybe a single Samsung external is fine, etc. Drives don't last long. The tuny mechanical optics wear.

I have an Asus in my main system, DVD only, works quite nicely for reading, average for burning, about 10 years old now.

For my case I will save storing the drive to use in the future because these drives will stop being manufactured

is it possible with some software to test whether the drive is good or bad?

does the sata / usb cable have enough power to power the internal sata drive? I need this cable to use the internal drive outside the PC

Read a disc.
Burn a disc.
If available as a feature, scan a disc.

Really not much else can be done. After you see it works, store it away. I have some extra drives in reserve, too!

The power of an internal sata drive is how many volts and watts? which SAta to USB cable do I purchase to use the internal drive outside the PC via the USB 2.0 or 3.0 port?

12V, I think. But it's not important to you. You cannot use a generic USB cable. It must be an enclosure made for optical drives. Opticals are not HDD/SSD.

where do I buy this accessory to use the internal USB drive? I have this cable

No idea. I haven't bought an optical enclosure in 10 years now. The wire you linked will not work. You have more research to do, if you insist on using the SATA drive as an external.

would it be better to buy the external sata drive? I don't know where to buy the optical case

Better? Not really, just different.
Easier? Probably.

Get a non-slim drive, as I mentioned.

this modelis is non-slim?
https://www.kabum.com.br/cgi-local/s...RoCSxAQAvD_BwE

https://www.kabum.com.br/cgi-local/s...i?codigo=65472

model liteon dimensions 140 (W) x 13.5 (H) x 136.3 (L) mm / 5.51 x 0.53 x 5.37 inch
model asus dimensions 19.1 x 7.1 x 18.5 cm

Nope. 8x = slim

hard, I did not find 16x external drive

Yep, it will be harder to locate a non-slim external. Best idea = SATA internal + enclosure for optical. I have no info on current models. Again, HDD/SSD is not optical, must specify optical use.

I don't know this case for an optical disc, have I never seen a picture of this case? I don't know where to buy it Aliexpress, Amazon

this adapter i used in dvd drive internal sata?

@gamemanico

As long as you stay away from Videohelp, I'll help with this one and only post here.

Full size internal drives require the regular 12V power (and connector) like HDDs.

Some/most external slim drives use a Micro SATA connector* whether in a portable enclosure or bare can be powered by USB 3.0 or using a dual USB splitter, two USB 2.0 ports. I have an external slim drive that requires the two USB connectors. It won't work with just a single USB connector even if it's connected to a USB 3.0 port.

*The SATA connector is the same, but the power connector is smaller. It only passes 5V (USB) power. Enough for optical and 2.5" drives.

I use and recommend this SATA to USB adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HZWVGK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you're using it for a full size optical drive or 3.5" HDD, you'll need to connect the 12V DC power adapter. For slim optical drives and 2.5" HDDs/SSDs, you don't need to use the additional power. It's only USB 2.0, but that's fast enough for optical drives.

I use it for various slim drives (Blu-Ray and DVD only). Sometimes, when reading (I never bother to write Blu-Rays), Blu-Rays, I need to connect the external power. I suspect it's because of the higher speed required for Blu-Rays.

That's it. My only post. Don't know and don't care about how/why things work or don't work. I also won't bother to list the drives I have.

is good?
