Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology Corporation (commonly known as TSST) was an international joint venture formed by Toshiba of Japan and Samsung Electronics of South Korea. Toshiba held a majority 51% share, while Samsung owned the remaining 49%. The company focused on manufacturing optical disc drives and was founded in 2004.

A slimline DVD Writer (TS-L633)

Headquartered in Shibaura, Minato, Tokyo, Japan, TSST was led by President and CEO Hiroshi Suzuki. Its Korean subsidiary, Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology Korea Corporation, operated out of Suwon, South Korea, under the leadership of Dae Sung Kim.

Both the Japanese and Korean divisions maintained separate directorate structures. Business matters were addressed jointly through a shared organizational framework to achieve consensus. TSST managed product development, marketing, and sales while leveraging the manufacturing, distribution, and after-sales service networks of both Samsung Electronics and Toshiba.

TSST branded its half-height optical drives equipped with recording capabilities as "WriteMaster".

History

In October 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a subpoena to TSST concerning potential breaches of antitrust regulations.

Samsung and Toshiba eventually divested their shares in TSST to Optis Co., Ltd., a South Korean manufacturer that had been producing goods for TSST under contract.

By mid-2016, TSST sought protection under Chapter 15 bankruptcy proceedings in Delaware, USA. This measure provided legal safeguards against most creditor claims in the U.S. while allowing the company to restructure its operations within the Korean judicial system and address $78 million in outstanding debt.

Models and specifications

Unless specified otherwise, all reading speeds are measured in constant angular velocity.

A "?" denotes that the device supports the format, but the exact speed rating for that particular model is not documented.

If a feature is absent from the "Additional functionality" section (for example, CD-MRW support) for a certain model, it does not necessarily mean the feature is unavailable; it may simply indicate a lack of verification from available sources regarding that capability.

Half-height

In model numbers, a third digit of "2" signifies an Parallel ATA with Integrated drive electronics (IDE) interface, whereas "3" denotes a Serial ATA (SATA) interface. TSST DVD writers often carry the "WriteMaster" label.

Certain models like the SH-S162 and SH-S182 have corresponding "L" variants (SH-S162L and SH-S182L), which identify support for LightScribe technology.

Speeds exceeding ×16 (constant angular velocity) during writing are unlocked exclusively when using high-quality recordable discs from select manufacturers such as Mitsubishi/Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden.

Potential domain misuse

As of May 13, 2021, the domain whois.verisign-grs.com indicates that the former official website's domain was newly registered on February 13, 2017. Information from the registrant's whois service, whois.regtons.com, combined with IP address whois data, suggests the domain is linked to a hosting provider based in the Czech Republic. The website displays TSST information likely originating from 2015; however, it contains numerous advertisements that would not typically appear on a reputable vendor's site and may pose risks to your device or privacy. For instance, selecting the firmware updates link leads to advertisements unrelated to the intended firmware content.

Notes

  1. ↑ Both half-height and slim TSST drives have a peculiar limitation of 16× CAV for reading Video CDs.
  2. ↑ For CD-RW media rated above 16×, writing occurs in Z-CLV zones at 16×CLV, 24×CLV, and 32×CLV; the maximum speed depends on the specific CD-RW media's speed rating.
  3. ↑ Up to 2006, DVD-RW discs rated for 6× were written using Z-CLV zones at 4×CLV and 6×CLV; since 2007, drives write them entirely at 6×CLV.
