LibreDrive for HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH14NS40 SVC NS50
Wanted to be able to read/backup my UHD 4k blurays
Main guide is here: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634
Chose the least expensive 5.25 drive: LG WH14NS40
Best choice is to build a USB boot drive from image here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8by2zqop77vpobr/WIN10PE_X86_4UHD.zip/file
Used Rufus in a windows VM
Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfpf6HoMMis
Then downloaded big package:

Added flasher and two firmware files to the boot disk:
BH14NS40_N1.00-A4_patched.exe
ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
DE_LG WH16NS60_1.00.bin
Boot the USB disk
Open Flasher
Apply Asus firmware
Reboot to the USB disk again
Open Flasher
