Looking for Slim DVD Drive w/o RipLock

[Allistah]

Hey all --

I just bought a LG BU40N drive and have the 1.03 MK firmware on it. It works fine but is clearly RipLocked.

Does anyone know of a Blue-Ray (doesn't have to be a 4k drive) that is not RipLocked and that actually spins. the drive up fast for ripping? This BU40N drive is a good drive, but man, I really wish it ripped DVDs faster. Pretty painful.

On a side note, the BU40N is just barely faster than the stock SuperDrive that came in my 2012 MacBook Pro.

I'd like to know this...

All LibreDrive drives have capacity to become riplock-free. This will magically happen some day in future (when time will allow this). ETA is unknown...

So, it's been about 5 years. I noticed my BU40N 1.03 is also ripping DVDs at ~2.6x max. Do we have any hope of LibreDrives becoming riplock-free soon? (Or is there perchance a riplock patch that keeps the stability of BU40N's 1.03 firmware?)
