Sorry, how do think the drive should be connected? USB C directly to the host computer and USB to a powered USB hub? But the hub should not be connected to the host? I wonder because basically data was sent both though USB A and USB C: I tried connecting them alternatively and with both ...

I used the mentioned tools on this forum with the 1.03 MK firmware for the BU40N and it worked without issues. My drive is now identified as a HL-.... drive and no longer as the ASUS model it is according to the box. So far no problems.

OK, thank you very much! In the meantime I ripped additional discs for testing and for some of them (non UHD), I also reached 5.6x speed which is completely ok. I was just wondering why the drive didn't even seem to crank up the speed on that first disc, but there might be other reasons ofc.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask anything inappropriate. It just appeared to me, that using libredrive and the backup functionality of MakeMKV a true 1:1 copy could be made (for personal archival/disaster recovery!), which would otherwise maybe not possible with closed firmware drives.

I've flashed my ASUS SBW-06D5H-U A102 (MT1959 internals) with the BU40N MK 1.03 firmware to enable libredrive features and then tried to rip a BR movie.

What do I need to do here?

The disk is recognized in Windows as a data bluray and also in MakeMKV, but after inserting the disc, nothing can be selected (the big icon, nor the backup menu).

Drive is a ...
