Thanks. I'm getting "posix error input/output error" and "sci error, uncorrectable error" on a few disks, is this a drive error or a disc error?

Is it possibel to get "silent" corruption which makemkv doesn't pick up on.

(For a real world example, I had a disc drive which was in a pc that got water damaged. Not sure if the drive ...

Does any Blu Ray drive work?

Most of the info and discussion I see about this is about 4k blu rays. I don't want to rip 4k blu rays, just normal ones. Would any drive work for this? For example something super cheap like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184792303350 ... SwX4BghaWG ?

Looking at buying LG WH16NS60

I'm looking at getting a LG WH16NS60 on eBay. Is it guaranteed to be able to be flashed with the firmware to allow it to rip 4k discs? I have read about the "drive platform" needing to be a certain one?

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021

Hi, the guide mentions you need a particular "drive platform", can drives have different platforms even if they are the same model? Looking at a LG WH16NS60 on eBay. (Also, they say in description it can play 4k blu rays, does this mean it can rip them too?)

Samsung SE-506

I found a Samsung SE-506 on sale for about £50, will this be good to rip blu ray discs? What about 4k blu rays? I found this review: https://uk.pcmag.com/dvd-burners/8928/s ... -re-writer

Which says it can read triple layer discs
