Recommended Drives for (Blu-ray) Recovery
Re: Recommended Drives for (Blu-ray) Recovery
I use ddrescue with USB adapters (only), and it is fine. Two of my adapters are Unitek, and they are good for full capabilities -- reporting drive information and for flashing. I also have a Benfei, and it behaves the same, though without the requirement for the USB connection to the host or hub being powered. The above MakeMKV information is incomplete, so either the drive or the adapter connection is not reporting everything. Have you established the specific model of the internal drive unit?

Technically, no. I probably need to remove the metal case? I think it might have been re-cased in China. Unless there is info on the back near the SATA ports, similar to that thread I mentioned earlier? (I'm not at home right now. I'll be able to look at it later tonight tho.)kaysee wrote:I use ddrescue with USB adapters (only), and it is fine.
