I have an old ASUS BW-16 drive that works sometimes but has issues I believe.

Considering getting an new drive to replace this one. Looking for something solid that will have as few of issues as possible.

What would you recommend?

Bu40n I have found to be the most reliable

I don't understand how they could be so bad I thought they were just a rebadged LG WH16 drive? I've got one as well as an LG drive, Guess it's just a case of waiting for the Asus one to fail then :( The lgs fail in a different way they don't usually slow to a crawl they will just throw random read ...

No, curiously MakeMKV reports it as MT1939 and LibreDrive enabled.

yeah do not flash that drive it will die i have no idea why the chip says 1959

Because that's how they fail they slow to a crawl in the middle of a rip

I haven't bought it yet. Would LG BU40N and external USB3 enclosure be better option than this Buffalo drive? I believe they are same unit, Buffalo is just rebadged. I think LG BU40N is also official UHD BD drive so it would work with Powerdvd Ultra. he says its not a BU40N and he has one that he c...

If bought now and is new stock, what is the FW version in it. Is it still BN12? I'm planning to buy EU version. Precise model is BRXL-PT6U2VB-EU. Is it ready for 4K backupping if I flash it with MK BU40N-BN12 fw (HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-BN12-0M01001-211905141415.bin) ? What if it comes with BN13 firmw...

Hi, a little late to the party, but enthusiastic none the less. I have a Product: BD-RE WH16NS40 Revision: 1.03 in a Vantec NST-536S3-BK case. It's definitely Drive platform: MT1959, and I confirmed made in 2018. I've been running it for years on MakeMkv 1.12 (Register'd and proudly paid for) but l...

My LGWH16NS40 manufactured May 2014, ROM VER. 1.00, has MT1959. Since it has MT1959, shouldn't it be UHD, LibreDrive flashable? If I am right in thinking this, I thought the rest of the community would also be interested in my discovery. but does makemkv say its mt1959? another person also check in...

they are just junk get a BU40N You can't generalize that. I also have an ASUS BW-16D1HT and I ripped hundreds of DVDs and BluRays, there was never a single disc which I couldn't rip (though to be fair I only posess two UHDs, but also hadn't any problems with them) Yes I can you have 1 Asus drive I ...

Anyone else having trouble ripping the standard best buy version? Mine gets to about half way and stops. Tied 3 times. All 4 of the hitchcock movies went flawlessly

Let me guess Asus drive?

So I goofed... I have a LG WH16NS40. It had a 1.04 firmware on it. I downloaded the Asus firmware tool from a different forum page from makemkv, I selected the wrong firmware downgrade from the list. Instead of selecting the correct one, I selected "DE_LG_BU40N_1.00" and installed that firmware. I ...
