UDMA 4- What drives and firmware support - Club CDFreaks

**alan1476** · 14-11-2005

Does anyone know of other drives beside the Pioneer and the BenQ1640 BEFB external that support UDMA 4? I have heard that the Plextor 716A does but I am not sure. The BenQ 1621 uses UDMA 3 but that is as far as I have gotten. Are there any other drives or firmware thast support this mode?

My Nec 3550 crossflashed to a 4550 is running in UDMA 4.

That is great news, are you using internally or externally? And what firmware are you using?

Plextor 716A is UDMA4 with 38+ MB/s burst rate. Externally with Prolific PL-3507 case 24MB/s burst rate on firewire. It's achievable since fw 1.06 until the latest 1.09.

All Pioneer 109 and 110 models, to be precisely.

All other drives/brands were mentioned before...

I would buy the 716A but I want to see what the 760A is all about before I buy the 716A. I wonder if the Plex 760A will run in UDMA 4 mode?

That's not true!
I crossflashed my both NEC 3550 and 3551 drives to 4551 and both were in UDMA 2 as before...

LG GSA-4167B just flashed to TDB's DJ13 and is UDMA4 (using internally).

**Arachne** · 21-04-2006

Anyone mentioned LiteOn? My 1693S is UDMA4.

**DrageMester** · 21-04-2006

Since this old thread got resurrected, I might as well tell you that any recent LiteOn DVD burner will also run in UDMA 4.

*chas0039* · 21-04-2006

Take a look at my link below if you are looking for burst rates in external enclosures.

I still have an old Pioneer 108 that runs in UDMA 4. Also my 111 and my Liteon 165H6S.

utopian201 · 21-04-2006

how do you tell which mode it is running in?

*_chef_* · 21-04-2006

The POST/BIOS screen shows it precisely!
