Ive read through the tuts and discovered this list..

Samsung SH-D163A (SATA)
HP TS-H353A (SATA)
Samsung SH-D163B (SATA)
HP TS-H353B (SATA)
Samsung SH-D162C (IDE)
HP TS-H352C (IDE)
Samsung SH-D162D (IDE)
HP TS-H352D (IDE)


I just want opinions from people who have these drive and do there own backups. Im currently looking around on ebay and have seen the sh-d163a for around £20 GBP but before i buy it are there any issues i need to be concern with in regards to the above list or should i just buy whatever one i can find cheapest??

thanks in advance for any advise given??

really no issues.

Just buy one already flashed with kreon v1.0

You'll be set.

Make sure it has the correct connection that you'll use also (IDE vs SATA)

I think the "B" and "D" models are newer, but it really just does not matter which one you buy.

If you have Sata ports, get a
SH-D163A
TS-H353A
SH-D163B
TS-H353B

If you have IDE, then get
SH-D162C
TS-H352C
SH-D162D
TS-H352D

They all work fine.

Hi i really want the sata version as my motherboard only has one ide connection and its awkward to get to,

Also im confident that i could save the money and flash it my self,

are there any specific issues i need to know about when flashing with kreon or is it as straight forward as 360 drives?

It's easier than flashing a 360 drive. It's straight forward. Just use the flashing program that comes with it. The only problem is that sometimes it seems as if the flashing program freezes or locks up. If it does that, the drive is still flashed. Just exit the program.
