I was just wondering how common are issues with LG drives on 3-layer discs?
I've been using a Pioneer drive so far for most of my ripping needs, but wanted to get an internal drive as well, since they tend to be a lot quieter and certainly the LG ones are faster at ripping as well.
After flashing the firmware on the BH16NS40 I got to the WH16NS60 1.02MK firmware I at first thought that I did something wrong as the UHD disc I was testing the drive with kept failing to read and errored out with a "No Disc" error. When I tried a different UHD disc it worked just fine. Both discs were 3-layer ones.
Now funny story it turns out that initial disc did end up being dead somehow (despite not having been used in like a year), but it prompted me to test all my other UHD discs and while all 2-layer discs worked just fine on both drives, some of the 3-layer discs only worked on the Pioneer drive.
I hope I didn't do anything wrong with the firmware flash, but I don't know what else could be the issue. Or are LG drives just not recommended anymore for ripping discs?

LG drives are bad for 3-layer discs. PM me if you want a 5,25" Pioneer solution.

You are already a while on this forum. I think you need a minimum number of posts until you are allowed to PM.
