dstruan Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Sorry guys for asking ... I want to do the Samsung 616 F/T Mod and i was looking for a proper Samsung Drive on ebay and other platforms ... But .. I just read some manuals and description and Version mentioned are Samsung 616 F/T only. When i search the internet i just find Samsung 616 drives, pictures, manual, type label. So my stupid question ... before buying some drives that will not fit the requirement ... How can i Check and assure that the drive is a Samsung 616 F/T ... I thing (or i never found) the version mentioned on the type label .. Sorry for the stupid question ... Thanks and Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 A görman. I would guess it's a Q. Maybe ask the seller for a picture from the top of the drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstruan Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 Or this ... SAMSUNG DVD Master 16E Model SD-616 DVD-ROM | eBay As you can see ... not all of them have that label and some are OEM (Lenovo, DELL) and they definitely have different labels. As mentioned ... I will have have my eyes open and search for a right one for resonable price Thanks again !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 No label - No buy. It's simple as that. I personaly would aim for a 1.6b xbox which in most cases have HL drives made in 2004 instead of buying a 2001 Samsung. Or a LG8164b which is also a nice drive and can be found as NOS for cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree actually and that was my initial instinct. A DVD drive with no label is a very odd thing to sell and I've personally never even seen one, they're so rare.
