Which drive?
Posted: Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:28 am
Hey folks.
I already do have a number[0] of LibreDrive compatible drives (e.g. 2x BDR-XS07U).
Recently I've learned[1] that some drives (unfortunately it seems not the aforementioned BDR-XS07U) can circumvent bus encryption even on UHDs with either just libbluray+libaacs or alternatively with dvdfab+findvuk (which can be used to retrieve the RDK).
I got that working with:
- PIONEER BD-RW BDR-S12U 1.03
- HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS55 1.02 (that used to be 1.05, but I was able to downgrade via SDFtool)
I also read that people successfully use the (at lest with DVDFab... not sure whether it works with just libaacs, too):
- LG BU40N
Now I wonder, what do people think is the order of the quality of these three?
I guess the Pioneer best, but which of the other two is better? I mean now mostly in terms of read capabilities and durability.
Also, the BDR-S12U is LibreDrive firendly, does anyone know whether the others are, too?
Thanks.

[0] I have more than just one because... well one never knows how long such drives will be available and they may break sooner or later ^^
