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

Thanks for the reply ... 

i will search for it ... (I found one, but such a sticker is not on the top of the drive, only Firmware Version is mentioned ... F/W=403).

Thanks !!

Really? You asked the question so I figured the info was missing somehow, but that's VERY strange indeed...

Here is one F version :

And here you see a Q version :

If the drive you search for didn't has the smaller sticker with the version info you are looking for, don't buy it. ;)

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. 

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.
