Need New UHD Drive(5.25 internal) - looking for tips/things to check

Hi,
Looks like I need a new drive. My LG WH14NS40(July 2014) is a year or two too old(to capture UHD)
So I am leaning toward a LG WH16NS40 because the form says it can work (firmware 1.02). I just bought a owc enclosure, so I want to buy an internal drive.

I lean LG, because I know it,but open to others provided it’s not drastically more expensive. I would love to hear people’s recommendations or experiences with capturing UHD, which is the end goal.

I recommend pioneers over the LG
Sad thing is it won't fit in your owc return it if you can and get a vantec and a pioneer

Thanks for the feedback. I probably can’t return the owc at this point. I’m trying to figure out why LG is not as good as pioneer, is it consistency?

My old LG drive ( WH14NS40 - 2014) has had a lot of success capturing blue rays and dvds.
