Makes sense to use a cheaper DVD drive for DVD ripping and save our expensive Blu-ray/UHD drives for ripping Blu-rays/UHDs.

It works! Thanks for your help.

(I used a Bloodrayne 4K disc from Germany)

I followed the instructions, how does this look now? will it read/rip 4K discs...

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-S11
Revision: 1.53
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2020-08-03
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 50 ...

Thanks! I'll keep you updated.

Correction: My PC does have USB 3

I bought the brilliant Buffalo BRXL-16U3-EU 16 x USB 3.0 External Blu-ray Drive in 2019, it still works perfectly.
I've only ever used it to rip DVDs and Blu-rays, can it rip 4K discs or do I need to change the firmware? unfortunately my PC only supports USB 2, I'll upgrade to a new PC soon.
