Oh, sorry ... I think I understand now. The LG WH16NS40 is "UHD Friendly" but is recommended to cross-flash (?) to LG WH16NS60 which is "UHD Official" (and therefore doesn't have the sleep bug). By the way, I seem to remember when I first flashed my WH16NS40 that you had to extract ...

I ordered the ASUS drive in an enclosure on Saturday. It was shipped the same day and arrived on Tuesday.

It was well packaged and exactly what I ordered. Would by from Alex again.

Thank you Trasper.

I have had very good feedback from MAC OS customers, that purchased this drive and firmware.

They all say that the Hitachi BH16NS55 SVC NS55 works well with their Mac's when Cross-flashed to
WH16NS60 1-02mk.

Thanks for the feedback

Kind Regards Amscom

My Asus drive stopped working. I found Asmcom recommended on the MakeMKV forum. Bought a drive from him. (H16NS55 with WH16NS60 FW v1.02mk in Vantec 5.25", 4K, Ultra HD, UHD Friendly). Shipped the same day as I ordered it. (Royal Mail did a well also. Shipment to Scandinavia took ...

I also ordered a UHD drive from Alex, and he had it shipped and a tracking number available before I paid

It is a great pleasure to have a pre-flashed drive that was just ready to plug in. Ripping easily. Thanks Alex.

I ordered a UHD-friendly Asus drive from Alex on Saturday afternoon. Arrived this morning (Monday) and I'm already up and running ripping UHD disks. Awesome and amazingly fast service. Highly recommended!

I bought an ASUS BW-16D1HT with OWC Mercury Pro from Alex and it arrived today. He shipped it quickly and it was packaged well. Would recommend. Haven't tested it with a UHD disc yet but it worked well on things my other drive was having issues with.

Thanks!

... somewhere or is buried in this forum that I haven't found yet. My next question is about ripping speed. Is there much of a difference between the WH16NS60 and BU40N? I tested a rip of a 4K movie and took about 45 minutes or so. Reason why is I have Lenovo laptop I might buy another BU40N drive ...

you didnt flash it to WH16NS60 but that does not really matter for read errors the NS60 firmware just reads faster and has no sleepbug. you have either a bad disc or bad drive. try clean disk new disc optional clean laser new drive ...

Even though in the end i did not order a drive from Alex, i really appreciate Alex's prompt reply and kindness. It seems like i had overseen the shipping costs from the US to my country, which makes it rather attractive to try to do the necessary process of firmware flashing by myself. For people wi...

... I'm running a WH14NS40 drive. According to MakeMKV I'm already at revision 1.02, however the recommended firmware thread suggests: WH14NS40 > WH16NS60 1.02 MK I believe I used the tool correctly, but MakeMKV still shows the drive as WH14NS40 and lists Firmware type as "Original (Unpatched)" ...

I like Alex's honesty. I purchased a drive from him about a year ago to rip blu-rays. I recently discovered the world of 4K UHD discs and wanted to upgrade to a drive that ripped them. So I reached out to him for this, and he responded "didn't I already sell you a 4k compatible drive? Buy a few 4K d...
