CDVDBurn 3 - supported drive overview
The following list of drives was tested extensively in-house with a variety of media
types, connected to various machines, with different RISC OS 5 versions. Please note that,
despite a lot of testing, successful operation cannot be guaranteed - sometimes,
manufacturers suddenly change the base hardware or aspects of the firmware without
also changing the name of the drive. If in doubt, please email us
to arrange access to a special test version to check drive compatibility.
USB drives were tested on Titanium, ARMX6, Raspberry Pi B+ and Raspberry Pi 4.
S-ATA drives were tested on Titanium (connected directly) and via an S-ATA-USB
adapter on ARMX6 and Raspberry Pi. Please make absolutely sure that your S-ATA-USB
adapter explicitly supports CD/DVD devices - there are a few adapters out there that
only work with harddiscs.
Please make sure that the power supply is strong enough to cater for those power
hungry writers. Especially with bus-powered USB devices it is advisable to connect
them to a powered USB hub. "External" drives come with their own power supply and
are less likely to exhibit such problems.
