Good to have for when your UHD Blu-ray collection inevitably grows over the years. I personally like that compactness of the drive and the price ain't bad either for a UHD capable drive. To get started, you’ll need a compatible Blu-ray drive and the MakeMKV software. I get about roughly 20+ MB/sec a few minutes after starting a Blu-ray rip and haven't had really any issue with the drive itself. Just download the modified Asus Firmware Flasher Tool (be sure to download the ZIP which contains both application and firmware files!), start the application and flash your drive with either the official v1.00 or custom v1.03MK BU40N appropriate firmware.Īfter that, you should be good to rip pretty much any Blu-ray (UHD or otherwise). You do have to do a little bit of extra work to enable LibreDrive, but it's fairly straightforward well worth the trouble in my opinion. I don't think VLC can decrypt (and actually play) a commercial/pressed Blu-Ray. You can either connect it via USB Type-C cable or a cable with two USB Type-A ends to it to supply the extra power required to operate the drive (both cables are included, but fair warning, they are on the short side if that an issue for you). If a commercial/pressed Blu-Ray disc doesn't even begin to show-up in Windows Explorer (like for browsing), your BLUE laser might be blown (or some other BD-Drive hardware problem). Essentially, it's the ultra-slim LG BU40N UHD Blu-ray drive in an aluminum housing with a USB 3 Micro B port for connectivity. I actually just purchased a month or so ago the Archgon Aluminum External USB 3.0 UHD Drive for about $120 and really am liking the drive.
