Hi all,

I'm new here, so I just wanted to start by saying how amazing MakeMKV is - a life saver

I used to rip my discs on a Liteon IHBS112-04. Sadly, it died a horrible death, and I replaced it with an LG WH14NS40.

The read rate on my LG WH14NS40 does not go past 8.6 M/s (2X) when I rip Blu ray discs. Every once in a while it drops to 0 or 0.5x, eventually climbing back up to 2X.

To my knowledge, the WH14NS40 is not riplocked (I could be wrong though)

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

I'm running two of these drives on two different machines, and both have shown 8x reads on BD disks, and 17X on DVDs. It may be system-specific; my results are on Dell computers running Win7, one of them 32-bit, the other 64-bit.

One of them is ripping a DVD as I write this, and showing over 10x speeds on the higher-numbered titles.

Edited to add: Read rate on a BD is up over 5x in rips running right now, with no firmware changes, so it is likely an interaction with your computer that is causing them to be lower.
