Got me an ASUS BW-16D1X-U

Drive Information
OS device name: \Device\CdRom2
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U
Revision: E113
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2020-07-21
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 78

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8F00
Firmware version: ID76

I presume since I've seen flashes for the E116 version, that the E113 also has a patcher?

Nope. The firmware is too new so your drive cannot be flashed to enable libredrive and UHD support. You will have to wait for future support.
Cheers :D

Greetings. I'm VERY new to this. I'm looking to buy a blu ray drive to rip discs, including 4k UHD discs.

1. What are the best drives to purchase (makes and models)?
2. Which have the least difficulty accepting libredive firmware (makes and models)?
3. Price is an issue, but right no I'm just interested in knowing what works best and easiest.

I appreciate any help! Don't want to waste my time and money.

I have an M2 Mac running sequoia 15.5. I can also run a windows VM, if that makes a difference.

Thanks!!!
