Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: Nintendo Gamecube & Wii
From Redump Wiki
Dumping retail GameCube and Wii is generally considered easier to do with a Wii console (see: Dumping Guide with a Wii Console), so you might want to start there.
However if you wish to dump with a PC (using the Nintendo GameCube and Wii Dumping Guide with a PC guide), see below for a compatible drive model.
