LG WH14NS40
Internal 5.25"
Flash RequiredNote
The predecessor to the WH16NS40. Same flash process, same enclosure requirements, same community-proven results. BD read speed is identical to the NS40 at 12x CAV. The 14 in the model name refers to BD-R write speed (14x vs 16x on the NS40), which does not affect ripping. Still widely recommended when NS40 stock is scarce. Flash to MK firmware via MakeMKV forum. Buy older stock.
