This is not a new Drive you wont be getting this new on a store, this are refurbish or from old computers... it should be on the top of the Drive, on the sticker and clearly says GDR-8163B or any of the other version.

This is not ebay if you want to sell go sell at ebay.com!

I have a bunch of brand new OEM Hitachi/LG GDR-8162B DVD-ROM Drives for sale- $60 each shipped U.S. Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation in the U.S. or $80 each shipped Internationally with Priority Mail.

Each additional drive you order is only $54 each if you're in the U.S. or $64 each if you're outside the U.S..

These are brand new OEM drives (No retail box or cable), still in their plastic bags and are getting harder and harder to find, let alone in brand new condition.


I only accept PayPal and am PayPal verified. I only ship to CONFIRMED PayPal addresses.

Send me a PM if you're interested and let me know how many drives you want and where you are located. If you have any questions send me a PM as well.

No BS or scamming here, I'm just looking to make a few bucks to pay off some bills and offer you a brand new drive so you won't have to buy some old used or refurbished drive or get into a bidding war on eBay.

I will offer a $5 refund (Via PayPal) to the first 4 people who buy from me and post here in this thread that they got exactly what I advertised so others will know that this is a legit deal. Thanks.
+++ hi i would like one if you still have one available, thanks, i have pm'd you.
cheers

I just ordered two GDR-8162B from www.Megaloot4u.com.

They were extremely quick to respond to my questions and their prices are great! If you are ordering more than one drive, send them an email and ask them for a quote/discount.

My two drives were shipped the same day! According to USPS, I should them in a day or two!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows whether the following will work on 64bit windows Vista?
1. Laptop slim drive GDR-8082N works. I personally confirmed firmware 0007 works in PIO mode only, Drive REV. A0. Adapters to use these in desktops are about $5 shipped on eBay. Search for JAE adapter.


My specific laptop is an HP Pavillion dv9260nr.
Any response will be helpful, Thanks.

Do these drives like the LG 8163b work to backup XBOX 360 games. I already have a drive that already works for backing up wii games, and I wanted to know if it would work for XBOX 360 games also.

THANK YOU

uou,

What did the 8082N come from?

I know Dell, IBM, Toshiba have used the drive...

Everyone be careful of Toshiba drives, same model, but has inverse cable selection...

This means you've got to get your soldering iron out... to get it to run as a master.

Found this http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?p=103132#103132
about another drive...

It might indicate why you have to use PIO mode.

Its not a big soldering job but an extra risk along with firmware not working, etc...

I'll post the firmware rev, if i get the drive working ;-)

I carn't recall if you have to select master or csel to use a DVD-ROM in an external enclosure...

I am using an LG8164B drive (firmware 0L06) in an external connected to my laptop. It all works well with Rawdump 2.0, and rips a Wii disc in around 3 hours 15 minutes. The drive should be set to 'Master' in an external enclosure.

I bought a GDR-8082N off ebay, there is someone on there at the minute with 80+ units at £15.00 each, from an IBM eServer.

Tried it with rawdump, worked fine.

Yes, i've ordered one of these, also got a toshiba drive.....
I'd prefer a notebook drive - alot smaller - but hey...

Noticed some GDR-8162B at a 'normal' price so had to order a few...

Thinks its the delay waiting for by tsg order, that's making 'impulse buy' ;-)

What firmware is your GDR-8082N then ?

I ordered the units from TSG but they sent the H30N type instead. Was told, by them, that they had proved they worked and would send a disc. Still to receive the disc as yet to prove it. Anyone else had the same story?

Hi guys,

I was wondering, could these drives work? GDR-8163SBB or GDR-8164SBB. Because I can get those, but not the ones without the extra SB on the end...
Hope you can help me out!
