USB 2.0 is still plenty fast for an optical drive, however, when I installed drives for flashing and testing, I used my USB-C cable.

MakeMKV 1.18.2 has been working well for me on linux; however, after a restart it fails immediately after loading the disc. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

Having this problem too on 15.4 with 1.18.1 installed.

Can a Pioneer BDR-XS07 with 2020-09-03 firmware be flashed to work with UHD?

I know there is a UHD version of this drive, but sadly I purchased the grey model back in 2021. The drive does work with BDXL discs but it does not mount the UHD Blu-ray disc. Thanks in advance.

I too received a LG 43888 from Quality Value Supplies via Amazon.de. It was worth a shot.
