Weird UHD drive Information

[Rabster]

I bought a what I believed to be a BU40N
However I have my doubts
Drive Information is as follows from MakeMKV

Drive Information
OS device name: I:
Manufacturer: 000000
Product: 9999999999999999
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: MO9P5OG1000
Firmware date: 2124-04-23 13:47
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 75

Its connected using the recommended cable from Amazon the cablecc one

Says its a Hitachi LG BU40N on the label but it also has this

MSIP-REM-HLD-BU40N

Which would seem to confirm that its meant to be a BU40N

It also doesn't show up in explorer

Questions are have I been duped
Can it be flashed
Or do I hide it from the wife and buy another one that's genuine

You left out the libredrive info section but it's probably the adapter you are using. Never heard of a cablecc one.

There was no libre drive information whatsoever, the cablecc adapter is the one that the link on one of the replies in another thread. What cable would you recommend? TIA

Whatever is in the ultimate UHD drive guide 2026.

On the occasion that I needed to flash a bare BU40N, I used my Alxum powered SATA to USB adapter with a SATA to slimline SATA adapter.
