Hi all,

Just took delivery of an ASUS TurboDrive BW-16D1H-U external USB 3 drive for my ripping needs. I have a few queries I was wondering if you could help me with:

1. dBpa could not locate the drive in Accurate Rip offset database when inserting a disc (which was in the db) - Is it "safe" to rely on the list here http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm? Only two people have submitted a value of +6 - how do I know this is correct?

2. Even if I had entered the "wrong" offset - let's say + 5 rather than +6. What would that do to my rips?

3. The drive supports C2 but I have to tick the C2 pointers over USB for it to work - is that common? If I do not tick the USB option it will not rip properly simply creating 4kb files.

4. Re C2 vs AccurateRip - could I safely rip in burst mode instead of secure mode and rely on this rip AS LONG AS it is an accurate rip?

Thanks all!
