== New Dump & Verification Submissions ==
-
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.
+
Drives in this list were validated after extensive testing and they are accepted for New Dump submissions as well as Verification Submissions.

===Notes regarding specific drives and capabilities===
+
-
*IDE models can be used on laptops or desktops using a [[IDE SATA to USB Adapter compatibility|USB Adapter]]. UGREEN / Kingwin brands are often recommended but anything using the [https://www.google.com/search?q=IS611+USB3.0-SATA%2BIDE+Bridge+Controller Innostor IS611 chipset]
+
-
*Additionally, IDE models can be used on a Desktop tower with a cheap card, or with a 5.25" IDE USB enclosure (can be found on eBay or similar, but supply might be scarce).
+
-
*SATA drives can be hard to find or expensive, it may be easier to buy an IDE model + IDE->USB adapter. Note that most IDE adapters also support SATA drives also.
+
-
*SCSI models can only be used with a Desktop tower with a cheap card (no laptops).

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.

Please note that the below drive models are not sufficient to determine if your drive is compatible with the [[Flashing Asus BW-16D1HT firmware | recommended custom firmware]], you can determine if it will be compatible by reading the [http://web.archive.org/web/20211108135730/https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/83QAAOSwIrBgrSQT/s-l1600.jpg sticker's manufacturing date] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20211108135730/https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429374270607720461/693522730414374932/IMG_20200328_190956.jpg PCB date code] on your drive. PCB code '''JB7 2011.11.17''' and older designs are '''not''' [[Flashing Asus BW-16D1HT firmware | cross-flashable to the recommended custom firmware]], but are acceptable for some single-track Data CDs if used with a firmware that supports scrambled reading. Before buying any of the drives below, ensure the date of production is mid 2015 or later (circular sticker), with a PCB code '''JB8 2015.05.08'''.
+
-
 
+
-
Also note that only certain firmware versions will work with Redumper and/or DiscImageCreator. The below firmware versions are known official firmware versions that support scrambled reading, however they are not all currently supported by Redumper out-of-the-box (will work with custom flags). Other MT1959-based drives with firmware that supports scrambled reading may be acceptable given further testing, however 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.

-
'''Technical Note''': In theory, the JB8 drives with good firmware can produce good dumps for mixed-mode CDs when there is a negative combined offset (disc write offset of less than -6, as JB8 has a read offset of +6). DIC and Redumper are able to dump CDs with greater than -6 write offset by reading the drive's cache, however it is not always reliable. The recommended custom firmware avoids having to read from the cache to dump discs with any write offset (as well as enables unlimited lead-out reading), therefore a JB8 drive with the custom firmware should in theory produce good dumps for any mixed-mode CD. The only technical limitation for audio CDs is the inability to read the first 15 of the 150 sectors in the pregap. This is not a problematic limitation however as the majority of audio CDs do not have audio data that far into the pregap, and [[Redumper]] can alert the user for CDs where this occurs. Despite all this, all discs should be dumped twice to ensure matching hashes, and Redump is not currently accepting new submissions for mixed-mode or audio CDs using JB8 drives until further testing is done to obtain the same level of confidence as Plextor dumps. For more info, see the detailed notes at [[Compatible LG/ASUS Optical Drives]]
