THIS DRIVE CONTAINS LG WH16NS60 "UHD OFFICIAL" 1.0 FIRMWARE" IT  PERFORMS EXACTLY LIKE WH16NS60 WHICH IS NOW OUT OF PRODUCTION. 1.02 FIRMWARE DOES NOT WORK WITH DVD FAB SO CHOOSE THIS 1.0 !!! THIS MAKES IT WAY BETTER THAN ANY UHD FRIENDLY DRIVE FIRMWARE!

WH16NS40 IS MUCH BETTER THAN MODELS SUCH AS:

• WH14NS40
• ASUS BW-16DHT 
•  Theoretically an official drive recognizes a wider variety of 4K discs. ESPECIALLY 3 LAYER DISCS WITH HIGH GB.

THE DRIVE IS NEW AND FULLY TESTED TO WORK WITH TRIPLE LAYER UHD DISCS. FIRMWARE WAS CHANGED ENABLING LIBREDRIVE SO THAT YOU CAN RIP UHD DISCS USING MAKEMKV SOFTWARE

YOU CAN USE OTHER RIPPING SOFTWARE SUCH AS DVD FAB AS WELL. THIS IS THE ONLY  "UHD OFFICIAL" FIRMWARE EVER INSTALLED IN A 5 1/4 INTERNAL DRIVE FROM LG.  IT IS THEIR BEST MODEL! 1.0
