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.

Models and specifications

edit
]
All reading speeds are in

unless 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.

) are only unlocked on quality recordable media from selected manufacturers, including Mitsubishi/
Verbatim
and
Taiyo Yuden

, accessing speeds are physically limited by the rotation speeds of the engine rather than the performance of the
optical pickup system
or the physical strength of the disc.

Possible domain abuse
[
edit
]
As of 2021-05-13 whois.verisign-grs.com 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.com 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 of
Video CDs
is oddly limited to 16× CAV.
- ^
CD-RWs
with speed ratings higher than 16× are written in
Z-CLV zones
of 16×
CLV
, 24×CLV and 32×CLV, of which the highest level depends on the
speed specification
of the particular CD-RW media used.
- ^
DVD-RWs
rated for 6× are written in
Z-CLV zones
of 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-CLV
in 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-CLV
or 8×
CAV
; DVD-RW:6×
Z-CLV
in zones of 2×CLV, 4×CLV, and 6×CLV of which the highest speed zone depends on the used media's speed rating
