Just flashed my BP50NB40 to the BU40N 1.00 firmware, using the SDF GUI tool in Win11 with instructions provided previously. Ezpz. Problem is, MakeMKV now reports "The program can't find any usable optical drives." WTF? after a power cycle, all seems to be well again. That was odd though. I...

I have two LG BP50NB40 drives that I purchased from Best Buy in the US in the last month. One is still in the box. I'm keeping it as a standby, in case I brick the first one while flashing it for LibreDrive capability. Or in case I need another drive some day. It seems the good, LibreDrive-able/UHD-...

I notice it's only got a USB 2.0 interface. Does this limit the performance of the drive when ripping?

Would this drive be adequate for backing up a collection of non-UHD Blu-ray discs? We want to do that, format shift around 100 and that's it. No UHD discs in our future. Yes, I know Pioneer drives are better, but they're also much more expensive. Thanks!
