They are technically the same and you can flash to make it either an ASUS or a LG. Any reason you don't consider a Pioneer?

I should check if they are available in Italy. Anyway, Alex Coluzzi told me that the LG is not so good and it will not last a lot.
The Pioneer are those on the 1st page?

1 drive missing from the 1st page for Pioneer is BDR-XD08UMB-S which also works out of the box (without any firmware updates) with MakeMKV

Guys, I have a problem. My LG WH16NS40 has arrived today but my Lenovo laptop with Win11 doesn't recognize it. I am using this as adapter https://www.amazon.it/Inateck-Adattator ... b_title_ce

What should I do?

Get another one. Yours is only for SSD and HDD.

The disk player works, it means the tray is working but it doesn't get recognized by win11.
So you think that is just the adapter?

Yes. And I had told you to check the adapter on page one which is the same I posted the Amazon link for. Yours doesn't work with optical drives.

Thank you

also fyi the pioneer is slower just so you know 4x vs 6x about 30 mins extra on a bd100

Any chance you can upload the NB52 "DE" firmware? The LG website only goes to NB50.

there is no DE for it only MK and stock.
i dont really see a need for it seems like only people who want to return things want it and there no point flashing it back to stock to return it they dont check. so its a waste of your time and my google drive space.
and its completely not needed as BP50NB52 still does not see UHDs
and this is the UHD guide not the return my drive to stock guide

Guys, I bought a LG WH16NS40, I have to flash some firmware? Which one? Is there a final guide to do it?
The 1st page is not so clear

BP50NB40, UHD Officialish External Slim 9.5mm USB 2.0 | Rip speed 6x BD 66 ~45 mins BD 100 ~1 hour 5mins

What do they mean by 'Officialish'?

I am missing something, why should I need to flash my drive? I ripped a bluray disc this afternoon without flashing anything. The firmware change is useful for ripping 4k bluray?
