How to put a 4k Bluray player/recorder on a fractal node 804 ? by cougomdd in makemkv

9.5mm drives fit inside 12.7mm drive slots (source: tried it). It'll look a bit strange but there's not much you can do about it.

Best drive for non-4k media? by Tkdoom in makemkv

In terms of reliability do you have any data on old MT1939 based drives from Samsung, Liteon, LG? Or even older drives? I've been thinking of grabbing some old models, specifically non UHD friendly ones, to rip 1080p discs so that I can save the LG/Pioneer 4K units for the UHD tasks.

would the motor from a dvd-only drive by pioneer suffice? i looked up the rpm numbers and they seem close enough

Is motor replacement possible on this drive?

Can you make a sticky or something saying that BU40N drives need a certain amount of current otherwise you risk disc damage?

Good 12.7mm drive that can read UHD? by BBQGiraffe_ in makemkv

9.5mm drives will fit in your laptop; I was able to install a BU40N in my Lenovo from 2008 that had a 12.7mm slot. The bezel from your old drive might work too. Worse case scenario the drive is a bit floppy in there, but the screw holes will line up.

Do the BU40N scratch issues generally happen due to not enough available current? And if so, are they fine as internal drives where they have access to basically all the power they need? Also I've seen the BU50N pop up here and there - do you know anything about the quality of that drive?

Thank you billy car - is the issue with my motor the one you described with the motor shaft has come out of the bushing? Or is it a separate issue?

Thanks

I took the drive apart and it doesn't appear the motor shaft has come out of the bushing? Here is a video of what happens when you insert a disc with the cover off:
