5.Cocopa ECD813-Y

The cocopa USB3.0 external optical storage drive comes with slight different design and a red ascent and its top, which gives a more good look for the product.

At the bottom we can find a dual USB3.0 and TypeC cable connector

Opening the drive we can find our the real manufacturer...

which is Toshiba-Samsung with manufacturing date October 2011

After connecting to the PC we found that the codename of the drive is SN-208AB with SC00 firmware.

We updated the drive to the SC01 firmware (look for SN-208AB_SC01.exe over google.com)

The drive supports C1C2 and PIE/PIF error measurements with the OptiDriveControl software or compatible application

As was expected, despite the fact that the drive is advertised as USB3.0 (and has the corresponding cable), in reality its connected with USB2.0 (high-speed).

Using the latest EAC (Exact Audio Copy) software we are able to detect important drive features, especially concerning Audio CD Ripping. The drive does seem to support C2 error info and doesn't Cache Audio which will result in higher ripping speeds.
