Drive Identification

Post by Deveroonie »

Hello,

I am trying to work out what my drive is (and if it's LibreDrive compatible). It's a generic drive, and it appears to be very good at masking itself. Looking up the model numbers etc does not appear to help, so I was wondering if anyone on here might know what it is.

MakeMKV output:

Hey Billycar11,
Is there likely to be any anytime soon or should I just send the drive back?

You might have to pull the drive out of it's enclosure to actually determine what model it is.
Cheers :D

Have the same drive and pulled mine out of the case (it's just two screws).

They put black tape over the stickers on the drive but it was removable. However you can save yourself that trouble by just connecting the drive from inside the case with a normal usb2sata adapter as it's their adapter PCB that overwrites the vendor information.

Mine contained an LG BT20N. And when connected with a regular adapter MakeMKV even said as LibreDrive status:
Status: Possible, might be supported in future, but not likely soon
