Serial Number on Drive Label differs From What MakeMKV Reports in the Info Section
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2026 3:58 am
When I launch MakeMKV, the section under Drive Information reports a serial number that differs from the S/N that is on the acutal drives info label.
e.g. Label on Drive
LG WH16NS40
S/N: 308HAER233276
MakeMKV Reports
LG WH16NS60
S/N: KLCN84A2218
Could this mean that the drive was pirated in some way? I bought it off eBay, and I have noticed that recently it takes 10 MINUTES for MakeMKV to read the disc before I am presented with the next stage as deciding where and what I am going to save to an MKV file.
From there it function with no problem.
Any Ideas??
TIA
