History
[edit]This sectionneeds expansion.You can help byadding to it.(August 2020) |
In October 2009, TSST had received a subpoena from the U.S. Justice Department for possibly violating the antitrust laws.[1]
Samsung and Toshiba sold their stakes in TSST to Optis Co., Ltd., a Korean manufacturer that made products for TSST under contract.[2]
In mid-2016 TSST entered Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in Delaware US, shielding it from most U.S. creditor actions while the company reorganizes its business in Korea’s court system and restructures a $78 million debt.[2]
Models and specifications
[edit]All reading speeds are inconstant angular velocityunless otherwise indicated.
"?"indicates that the format is supported, but the speed specification is unknown for this model.
Functionality not listed in "Additional functionality "(e.g.CD-MRW support) for a particular model does not always imply that the feature is missing, but may also imply that existing sources have not confirmed that feature for that particular model yet.
Half-height
[edit]Model numbers with the third digit being a"2"stands for anParallel ATA+Integrated drive electronics(IDE) interface, while the digit"3"stands for aSerial ATA(SATA) interface. DVD writers by TSST may have a "WriteMaster" branding.
Some models such as the SH-S162 and the SH-S182 have"L"variants (SH-S162L and SH-S182L) respectively, which indicates support forLightScribetechnology.
Writing speeds higher than ×16 (constant angular velocity) are only unlocked on quality recordable media from selected manufacturers, including Mitsubishi/VerbatimandTaiyo Yuden.

Possible domain abuse
[edit]As of 2021-05-13 whois.verisign-grs claims that the previous official website domain was newly registered on 2017-02-13T00:00:00Z. According to the registrant's whois system whois.regtons and a whois on the IP addresses it seems to belong to a Czech hosting company. The website shows TSST infos from probably 2015, but a lot of ads which surely wouldn't be on a trusted vendors homepage and might cause harm to your computer or privacy (i.e. clicking on the firmware updates link opens up ads which surely nothing have to do with the firmware updates you were looking for).
Notes
[edit]- ^On both half-height and slim-type drives by TSST, reading speeds ofVideo CDsis oddly limited to 16× CAV.
- ^CD-RWswith speed ratings higher than 16× are written inZ-CLV zonesof 16×CLV,24×CLV and 32×CLV, of which the highest level depends on thespeed specificationof the particular CD-RW media used.
- ^DVD-RWsrated for 6× are written inZ-CLV zonesof 4×CLV and 6×CLV for drive models until 2006, and entirely in 6×CLV for drive models since 2007.
- ^CD-R:24×CAV;CD-RW:24×Z-CLVin zones of 10×CLV, 16×CLV, 20×CLV and 24×CLV of which the highest speed zone depends on the used media's speed rating[23]
- ^DVD±R:8×CAV;DVD+RW: 4×Z-CLVor 8×CAV;DVD-RW:6×Z-CLVin zones of 2×CLV, 4×CLV, and 6×CLV of which the highest speed zone depends on the used media's speed rating[23]
