Hi guys-

I have a wh16ns60 drive. I currently have it listed as unrestricted read speed. Will this lead to more read errors and should i change it to a slower speed? Thanks in advance.

Did you change it in the registry?

tried that but still says unrestricted. i also uninstalled makemkv, deleted the makemkv registry files, and reinstalled but the program still show unrestricted read access. Hope it doesn't cause more read errors.

it always says that when the firmware is flashed or you have libredrive compatible firmware.
but it is not activated unless the registry key is there. so if you deleted it your ok.
