A list of optical disc drives compatible with dumping PlayStation 5 discs.

Hypothetically any drive compatible with PlayStation 3 & 4 and has UHD-BD-ROM support should be compatible with PS5 discs. If you know of any drives compatible with PS5 discs not listed below, please reach out to us at the redump forum or the VGPC discord.

The below list of drives should be compatible with dumping PS5 discs. If the drive does not recognize the PS5 disc, it is either an older incompatible model or your firmware does not support it. All drives compatible with OmniDrive firmware should be able to dump PS5 discs regardless of firmware, however flashing to OmniDrive is recommended and may fix reading issues if there are any.

Compatible Drives

Half-height Desktop Drives

  • LG BH16NS50, LG BH16NS55, LG BH14NS58, LG BH16NS58, LG WH16NS58, LG BH16NS60, LG WH16NS60, and LG BH-A10AME.
  • Newer variants of the following drives are also compatible: Asus BC-12D2HT, Asus BW-16D1HT, LG UH12NS40, LG CH12NS40, LG WH14NS40, LG BH14NS40, LG BH16NS40, LG WH16NS40.

See the OmniDrive page for info on how to tell whether your drive is the newer compatible variant (JB8 or JB9 PCB code, svc code NS50/NS52). Older models (manufactured early 2015 and earlier) are likely not compatible with PS5 discs.

Note: When dumping PS5 using "UHD Friendly" half-height desktop drives (e.g. LG WH16NS40, ASUS BW-16D1HT), a 'sleep bug' can be encountered if the disc is idle in the drive for too long (e.g. if redumper is generating a skeleton, or if you leave it in the drive after dumping). It is safe to eject the disc if the drive makes unusual noises while idle.

Slim Drives

  • LG BU40N, LG BU50N, LG BP50NB40 (svc code NB50 or NB52 only), LG BP55EB40 (svc code EB50 or EB52 only), and LG BP60NB10.
  • Compatible third party drives that use the LG BU40N internally are also compatible: Archgon MD-8107-U3, Buffalo BRUHD-PU3-BK, Buffalo BRXL-PTV6U3, Verbatim 43888 / 43889 (only new 2025 Verbatim models use BU40N, older variants are incompatible).
