For dumping CPC floppy, better is amstrad Floppy drive isn't it
When I speak CPC, of course is Amstrad CPC6128.

So I can reply at your question, all of floppy amstrad drive I have.
(In memory, they are 5 models of amstrad floppy drive and I have already test all, same 'problem')

But, in this moment, I Use S70312 :
And, in the scp menu I have

5.25" - 48 TPI (Not selected and black)
5.25" - 96 TPI (Selected and Gray)


What is the difference between

- IBM360  (48 or 96 TPI, no matter, it always work, good 'step')
- C64/128   48 TPI (seems worked)


With C64, dumping mode, the noise of the head is :
'clack' - 'clack'  <----- wait...---> <go next track gui> Next Track            --- clack - clack

With IBM360, dumping mode, the noise of the head is not the same :
Is more linear...
Dump 1 track, on screen,  2 blue block.
The Head move 1 'clack'
but dumping is more fluid vs C64 type

You can find this 2 dumps always same url  : http://sasfepu78.fr/TEST/SCP/
names :

_Disco_C64_48TPI.7z
_Disco_IBM360_48Tpi.7z

On Amstrad CPC 'old version, not the PLUS'
They are only 2 models that have floppy drive
Amstrad CPC6128
Amsrad CPC664

When I dumping CPC disk with kryo or scp, I connect a Amstrad CPC6128 source floppy drive
as i say : S70312

It's 1 head model.
