Weird UHD drive Information

[Rabster]

I bought a what I believed to be a BU40N
However I have my doubts
Drive Information is as follows from MakeMKV

Drive Information
OS device name: I:
Manufacturer: 000000
Product: 9999999999999999
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MO9P5OG1000
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 75

Its connected using the recommended cable from Amazon the cablecc one

Says its a Hitachi LG BU40N on the label but it also has this

MSIP-REM-HLD-BU40N

Which would seem to confirm that its meant to be a BU40N

It also doesn't show up in explorer

Questions are have I been duped
Can it be flashed
Or do I hide it from the wife and buy another one that's genuine

You left out the libredrive info section but it's probably the adapter you are using. Never heard of a cablecc one.

There was no libre drive information whatsoever, the cablecc adapter is the one that the link on one of the replies in another thread. What cable would you recommend? TIA

Whatever is in the ultimate UHD drive guide 2026.

On the occasion that I needed to flash a bare BU40N, I used my Alxum powered SATA to USB adapter with a SATA to slimline SATA adapter.

One way to confirm is an issue with the cable your are using is to check that serial number matches what is printed on your drive. Does it match?

With LG drives, the serial shown in MakeMKV never matches the label.

no idea if it will work but
yeah i can say i am sick of these junk adapters makes flashing impossible and libredrive because it blocks drive info
might still work for regular bluray
i can say only get a approved adapter from the guide i keep it updated if they change the chip set i remove it once i know

I bought this adapter from Amazon that was recommended here on MakeMKV

BENFEI SATA to USB 3.0 Cable, USB 3.0 to SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Compatible for 2.5 3.5 Inch HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk with 12V/2A Power Adapter, Support UASP

So far it's worked with both LG and Pioneer drives showing correct info. Also used to flash both.
