Dear dBoweramp forum members,


I'm saving money for a new PC. For the moment I have an old Dell OptiPlex 755 SFF desktop. This PC was bought by default with an HL-DT-ST - DVD-ROM DH10N internal drive. Till I save enough money I have to help myself with my current PC. This PC is running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. However I want to replace the HL-DT-ST - DVD-ROM drive. Here are the options that have been offered to me :

- Asus SBC-06D2X-U/BLK/G
- Asus SDRW-08D2S-U Lite
- Asus 90DD01K0-B20000 BLU-RAY INT Combo BC-12D2HT/BLK/G
- Asus BW-16D1H-U PRO
- Asus BC-12D2HT Bulk
- LG BE14NU40
- LG GP50NB40
- LG GP70NS50
- LG GTC0N
- Pioneer BDR-209DBK
- Pioneer DVR-TD11RS
- Plextor PX-820SA
- Plextor PX-712UF
- Samsung SE-208GB
- Samsung SE-208DB
- Samsung SH-224BB/BEBE
- Samsung SE-506CB
- Samsung Super-WriteMaster SH-224DB/RSMS
- Samsung SH-224DB
- Samsung SE-218CN

Price isn't important to me. It may be an internal or external drive. The most most important aspect for me is how secure the drive can rip and the number of successful rips. I'm not a hero regarding hardware brands and their specs so please can someone help me determine what the best buy would be?

Kind regards.

Hi Spoon,


Thanks for your reply but as you have mentioned many of these drives are EOL and nearly impossible to find. I found two or three but the seller on Amazon or eBay won't ship it to my country. I actually wanted to buy an ASUS BW-12D1S-U Blu-Ray external drive. In the AccurateRip Database Offset List I found the following information about this drive:

- ASUS - BW-12D1S-U +667 142 100%

Is it than considered as being a good drive? I'm sorry but I'm not that familiar with such terminology....


Kind regards.

If you cannot find specific drives, and 2 cheaper drives which are from different manufacturers are recommended, as if one drive will not rip a disc, the 2nd drive might.

Hi Spoon,

Thanks for your professional advice as always. One last question today the internal drive will be delivered. I have to replace the existing internal drive with the new one. Will dBpoweramp recognize the new internal drive automatically or do I have to set all parameters from scratch?

Thanks in advance.

It will recognize, however you will need to reconfigure the offset (it will prompt).
