Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
The UJ240AS is never going to do UHD, as it was discontinued years before UHD was a thing. You are limited to DVD and (regular) BD reading, no matter what software version you have.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
My drive is a Pioneer BDR-2212 (built in to computer). Can it work or be added to the list?
Thank you, kindly,
Dave

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
So, from what I'm reading here, by skipping through 20 pages at a time, is that there's basically no new drives that are UHD Official and work for ripping? Man, that's a bummer.
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Non-Pioneer drives listed in the 1st post remain generally available, although the more expensive Pioneers are considered more reliable. 'Local' sellers are still able to provide non-crippled Pioneer drives. Look for one in your region.MasterZoen wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 7:26 pmSo, from what I'm reading here, by skipping through 20 pages at a time, is that there's basically no new drives that are UHD Official and work for ripping?

It's a shame that these are all slimline so would need to go in an enclosure to be mounted in my desktop.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:04 amOf course there is!MasterZoen wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 7:26 pmSo, from what I'm reading here, by skipping through 20 pages at a time, is that there's basically no new drives that are UHD Official and work for ripping?

If you want to mount it in a desktop PC, look at the BU40N and check Amazon / eBay for a 9.5mm to 5.25" drive bay adapter thingy.Mr_Orange wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:09 amIt's a shame that these are all slimline so would need to go in an enclosure to be mounted in my desktop.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:04 amOf course there is!MasterZoen wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 7:26 pmSo, from what I'm reading here, by skipping through 20 pages at a time, is that there's basically no new drives that are UHD Official and work for ripping?

The LG WH16NS60 was the go to official UHD drive but LG stopped producing it. The Pioneer UHD Official internal drives (with older firmware) really are the way to go. Far superior to any other manufacturer. Check with a seller on this forum or in my signature.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Thank you. I'm OK for the moment, I have an LG BH16NS55 flashed to the WH16NS60 which is performing flawlessly. I was just thinking about getting a backup. There are still some shops selling the BH16HS55 locally so I might get one of those and cross flash it when I need to.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:16 amIf you want to mount it in a desktop PC, look at the BU40N and check Amazon / eBay for a 9.5mm to 5.25" drive bay adapter thingy.Mr_Orange wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:09 amIt's a shame that these are all slimline so would need to go in an enclosure to be mounted in my desktop.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:04 am

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
I guess I'll try for that Verbatim drive, then. I was really bummed because my old WH14NS40 drive just died as I've started to rip my discs now that I have the storage for them.MartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 1:04 amOf course there is!MasterZoen wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 7:26 pmSo, from what I'm reading here, by skipping through 20 pages at a time, is that there's basically no new drives that are UHD Official and work for ripping?
