This drive read UHD discs?

Hey all, I have a blueray drive that I patched a long while ago and I cannot remember if it will read 4k discs or not after I've patched it. Is there any way I can find out? This is what the drive shows up as in MakeMKV below. I don't have any 4k discs to try and was going to buy one but didn't want...

Re: Looking for Slim DVD Drive w/o RipLock

On a side note, the BU40N is just barely faster than the stock SuperDrive that came in my 2012 MacBook Pro.

Looking for Slim DVD Drive w/o RipLock

Hey all -- I just bought a LG BU40N drive and have the 1.03 MK firmware on it. It works fine but is clearly RipLocked. Does anyone know of a Blue-Ray (doesn't have to be a 4k drive) that is not RipLocked and that actually spins. the drive up fast for ripping? This BU40N drive is a good drive, but ma...

Re: BU40N - Which firmware is best?

I have the LG BU40N drive with the 1.03 MK firmware on it. I've ripped a few DVDs so far and here are the results. Does this sound about right for this drive? I was thinking it was going to be faster. 2 Layers (OTP), 22:34 (1354s), 5.1 GB (5100 MB), ~3.76 MB/sec [2.85x Avg] 2 Layers (OTP), 21:52 (13...

Re: BU40N - Which firmware is best?

I got my drive and flashed it to the 1.03 mk firmware. Worked fine. Now when I'm trying to rip a regular DVD, it starts around 2.6x and then sits. It doesn't spin up fast and start ripping at the higher speeds, it's like it's in movie watch quiet mode. Any way to get this thing to spin up and really...

Re: BU40N - Which firmware is best?

I just ordered the BU40N drive. Is the 1.03 MK firmware still the best choice for this drive?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2019

i do not recommend flashing it in a vm if you don't have a windows pc or are not willing to bootcamp your mac i would recommend you buy one preflashed the BU40N is only slightly slower than an NS60 but if you want faster and cheaper go with WH14NS40 with WH16NS60 firmware the only thing you lose is...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2019

Yeah I’ll be flashing it on a VM. What are the drawbacks between these two drives, outside of cost? LG WH16NS60, UHD Official Internal 5.25 LG BU40N, UHD Official Internal Slim Sata 9.5mm Are their speeds the same or is the NS60 the best one? I’d prefer the slim one for portability and it’s a bit ch...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Guide Updated 2019

Hey all -- Thanks to those that created this guide and have continually contributed. I think I've settled on a drive but I wanted to get a real-time check on it to see if there was something that I needed to know before I buy it. I have MacBook Pros at home and I'm looking at getting the "LG BU...
