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...
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).

Hello, I am in the process of learning how I can make my Drive read the data of off a UHD. The first Note of the "BEFORE FLASHING" section says 1. Make sure your Drive was built after 2016 on label or late 2015 if you want to risk it. I would assume that if I bought my drive in 2014, this ...
