Description: This is a Brand new LG WH16NS40 firmware version 1.02 that came from the factory with firmware 1.04 or 1.05 depending on date of manufacture, and service code NS50. With 1.04 or 1.05 installed, these drives are not able to read a 4K disc, developed in an effort to further the anti-piracy movement. I have changed the firmware to the last, most stable version that makes the NS50 drives capable of reading 4K UHD discs - version 1.02. External Drive : - LG WH16Ns40 drive is already installed in external Vantec NST-536S3-BK NexStar DX casing and drive is plug and play. - Vantec NST-536S3-BK NexStar DX USB 3.0 External Enclosure for SATA Blu-Ray/CD/DVD Drive all black along with a USB 3.0 cable and AC power adapter. - It will be packed the way it was in its original box and all its accessories and manual.

I verify and inspect all modification done on blu-ray 4K UHD friendly drives! Please note that this is the real LG firmware drive that are 100% suitable with your PC Be aware of the fake LG firmware drive sellers claiming their UHD friendly, they will have limited function and stability when connecting to PC This drive will function as a regular WH16NS40 would. What makes my drive special is additionally it will READ a 4K disc, guaranteed. 4K was developed around anti-piracy, so PLAYING a 4K disc on your PC has a huge list of requirements. This is only one piece of the 4K chain. I CANNOT guarantee you will be able to plug this in and play a 4K disc on your PC. It will, however, READ a 4K disc. Therefore, with additional software (NOT included in this auction), this drive can provide you options to decrypt, rip, burn, copy, etc, giving the potential to change a 4K disc to a playable file format. Additionally, "official UHD" drives now come with a firmware installed that make them incompatible with copying software. You CANNOT just go out and buy a 4K drive and start ripping files! The ONLY solution is to have a drive like this that is "UHD friendly". Works with compatible softwares : DeUHD, DVDFab UHD, AnyDVD HD & MakeMKV (LibreDrive enabled). Reads 3D Blu-Ray.
