Out of curiosity...if I had selected the option, would that have broken the drive? or wouldn't it have made any difference?

Was able to secure a BDR-212UBK to replace a much older BDR-2209 purchased several years ago.
Was there any reason to keep the BDR-2209 or just put up for sale?
Both drives come up full supported LibreDrives, but the 212-UBK supports UHD while the 2209 does not.

A simple firmware update can really make it read unsupported discs like UHD?

Also, somewhat off-topic, but do libredrives allow the drive to also read Blu-Ray discs from game consoles like PS 3/4/5 for example?

yeah thats what we been doing to the LGs the whole time.

i know the BU40N can copy ps3 games not sure about 4 and 5 the other lg flashed drives i assume can to.
but its not because of libredrive it is its own thing.

I selected 4 models which are available in my country.
the LG - BU40N.ARAA10B or LG BH16NS55 or LG WH16NS40 or WP50NB40 (external)

which one will be the easiest one to flash for UHD ripping and burning (BRXL mainly) ? which one is the more efficient / reliable ?

thanks in advance and thanks for this good guide

Go for the BU40N or the BH16NS55. NS40 might be with old chip that is not compatible and the WP50NB40 might be tricky to flash. The sellers in this forum say the BU40N is the most reliable and best for 3-layer discs.

I have a BH16NS55 flashed to WH16NS60 and have had no problems at all.

so the BU40N will arrive and I need a case which one do you recommend ? I saw the list but there are not available (or not at a normal price) in my country. (FR)
thank you for your advice in advance
