What platform would be expected for an LG UH12NS30 manufactured 12/2015? This is based on the label without MakeMKV information.

Dunno. Provide the MakeMKV information.

This is pre-purchase.

Can't help you then. Try doing some forum searching or googling.

For this model, manufactured 12/2015, SVC code NS30, would platform MT1959 be ruled out?

I have seen references to other LG models manufactured before 10/2015 with SVC code NS40, or after then with SVC code NS50, and that dividing line corresponds to either MT1939 or MT1959. This model is after that date, but with a lower SVC code.

Again, can't say for sure. Don't know much about the UH12NS30. Can't you ask the seller to connect it up and provide the MakeMKV drive info & libredrive info sections? You cannot get a definitive answer without this info.

If you want a drive for UHD discs, it's probably not worth it. Far better off buying a new drive anyway, not a 10+ year old drive.

New equipment does have its advantages. What companies are currently manufacturing new optical drives?

None. All of them ceased production.

[kaysee]

Exactly.

[Coopervid]

You can still find a better drive than this one.

[nicholfd]

Exactly.

New (latest model) inventory is still available. See the many "For Sale" threads here:
Drives for sale, Flashing Services, where to buy...

I have three new in box models, two with current native/UHD/4K compatible drive mechanisms for sale. Links in my signature. E-mail me at the address in my signature if you're interested.

Thanks,
