Bought a couple of these from http://svp.co.uk/products-solo.php?pid=1052 Log file of how they perform with a Samsung Spinpoint 80 Gig Sata 1 HD inside it.

sounds like you have the ALI chipset in your usb enclosure, you wanna hope its not revision A either as that is not flashable.

It cannot copy protected DVDs either.

It turns out it was my front USB , benq1650 is now connected to rear usb and is fine. You can use the output.bin from rom writer to upgrade/downgrade, thought I would be able to but was scared incase I bricked PMC chip

actually you already said you got latest but you know the read rom feature, you save it as output.bin Can this be used as flash file, is the output.bin [32k file] a backup of firmware, I'm afraid to use it LOL edit the disc scanned at 98.85% on liteon and no POF errors. Just had a thought, maybe its down to my front USB2 ports on MSI 975X PUE as other enclosures are mobo usb2 and i know my msi has issues with some flash pens on a power up eg they do not always get detected. this is probs a stupid question and 1 i suspect i know the answer to but is it exclusive usb2 and firewire, eg one or the other but not at same time, if allowed at same time how would it distinguish between which one you wanted to use.. Google time to show me up as an idiot now. yeah i'm an adiot, as suspected one or the other, well really it had to be.

Got the 1650 in combo pl 3507 updated pl3507 to latest firmware 2006, Is that which firmware you have on your enclosure LUK ? Still getting 1650 stalling a little during dvdinfo scan, also just burned a verb 16X + disc to test, scanning was going well until 99% then i got POF (it also seemed to lock up at 99% and quality dropped from 94% to 73% (never had parity outer failures on any disc i have burned) will scan it in liteon see what it says, then think i will change firmware on benq/ then test/ then depending on the outcome I may downgrade pl3507 to what is in my older combo enclosure (latest one (need to check the other one) i got from svp is revision C (there is also a revision D of this chip) think my older ones are revision B, also i note from change log of firmware that a benq 1640 fix/update was listed and i think something to do with odd scan. The image i burned to verb 16x ty just verified ok in 1650 so need to see what it scans like in another drive, will also be putting another 1650 into combo to see if its one of my 1650 is faulty etc) they all came with BCDC, if i remember rightly i think a firmware above was released to combat odd behavior in 1650 scanning etc. also are the combos you got recently different from the ones you got a while ago, my older combo ones are plastic, the 2 i got today are both Aluminum.

Those Amd 2800+ are hard to find, stuck a t/bird 1.333mhz in for the meantime. Not many on ebay either, the ones on there are sold as seen as well , there are a few Barton core ones might have to settle for one of those, Initial shitty link just delivered my verbs, looks odd the packaging long rectangular boxes straight from verbatim. Right off to try the benq drives in combo enclosure. Anyone find any amd xp athlons for sale if you would be kind enough to pass on link, thanks

They had already packed my order otherwise i would have phoned them, decided to also get another 200 verb 16x ty might as well when they are that cheap.

you will have to make sure that either the drive auto book types it to dvd-rom or manually set it for the 360 to recognize the disc. 'Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A 1-01' NEC and Sony venture so use nec tab in imgburn if your drive is listed in there use the eeprom setting for dl+ if you can and change to dvd-rom

Popular bunch from all accounts

Turns out the CPU blew somehow. Gonna look on ebay for xp2800 @333mhz Would prefer a new one if cheap enough and could find one.

do you have imapi.exe listed in processes under taskmanger when you get this error, if so end it then try. tiger also right click on the cd recorder/dvdrecorder properties and recording tab and untick enable cd recording on this drive box, then try erase in imgburn.

Forgot that i asked grain something, not heard from him though. Will catch up with him at some point I'm sure. I have now gotta get some SATA enclosures, wish i had of remembered that last night when i went shopping at svp, could have saved myself a fiver postage

Have you no shame ?

Well It seems I made the Mistake of buying the USB2 version, I found the firmware I was looking for on one of my computers, the bad news the firmware I have is for PL-3507 and I know I used it to upgrade 2 enclosures a while ago. Which means I bought the combo enclosures first time round 2 of them, since then I shafted myself by buying the USB2 versions only, as they have a chipset in which benq drive's hate, I/O errors 0.1X iso reading(can be 7.8x then drops) just normal data iso reading, Dvdinfo pro scanning hangs waiting for drive etc then continues scanning. Off back to SVP for the combo enclosures now : And one of my older computers went off tonight, think board has had it, a7v8x, maybe cpu. twat. Only got 12 left now.

go into imgburn settings and press defaults, if that does not put I/O back to SPTI then do this yourself, you must have admin privileges to use SPTI though. Failing that go into program files and open the ahead folder and search for wnaspi32.dll then copy it to the imgburn folder, you could then choose that I/O in imgburn, if it says not found then copy wnaspi32.dll to system 32 folder

packet writing software can be troublesome. If you can remove in cd, also right click on your burner and choose properties and look for the recording tab, then untick enable cd recording on this drive

try some different cdrw if you can. does it burn OK if you just use a normal CDR go in to imgburn settings and press defaults and try again with your cdrw, seems like your writer does not like the type of cdrw you got though

I only ever use xp's SPTI (98%) and Winaspi32.dll the other 2% never had any issues burning over 6,000 discs. I would agree with you on Nvidia IDE I never use it and prefer MS for all my nforce boards, However I have never had any problems with Via's Ide.

Would have thought regarding burnproof, Data is Data and burnproof cannot differentiate

Too right I can't see it.

Satisfaction guaranteed

Roll on I A C G M O H

They have it all.

Why you using this force aspi and why uninstall via ide controller ? Also i would scan the hard drive your storing your 360 iso files for errors using built in windows error checking tool, just the top box though ( auto fix file system errors)
