I am looking at getting the ASUS BW-16D1X-U External Blu-ray Drive and I am trying to find out if it is compatible with LibreDrive

ASUS BW-16D1X-U is not UHD-capable.

This drive should work if you downgrade it to 1.02.

Do you have any recommendations on a external UHD and libredrive capable drive?

Yep, an internal drive in a USB external enclosure. Take your pick of drive. BU40N, WH16NS60, ASUS BW-16D1HT, WH16NS40, BH16NS55

Best, what Marty said. There are some portable UHD-capable drives, but not many of them are compatible out of the box. The "full size" internal drives are usually much faster and less fragile than most "USB" drives, and the enclosures are not expensive.

I have a LiteOn EB1 drive that is an "official UHD" slim-type USB drive, and it is NOT currently supported by LibreDrive. It would probably work fine with all that official UHD software that will refuse to run on my machines because they aren't "powerful enough to deal with UHD video" (i.e., they won't enforce the copy protection).

That's great, if I bought this one now, would it work out of the box or would I need to mess about with the firmware?
Thanks

You need to downgrade it most likely

I'm happy with my BU50N. I'm using it as an external drive just by running SATA power and data to it externally. It works with UHD titles out of the box (Firmware BW50). Currently it is supported via LibreDrive for everything but unrestricted read speed.

My WH16NS40 drive is already at 1.02 and I'm still getting the following LibreDrive output:

Are you sure WH16NS40 will work at all?

How old is your drive? Does it say SVC NS50 on the label?

I have a ASUS BW-16D1HT and LibreDrive is not enabled, any leads on how do I get it enabled?

What does the info window have as far as information?

Is it a newer model or an older model? What firmware version? If it is a newer drive with 3.03 it will need downgrading to 3.02.
