Drive Recommendation

Post by steve1701 » Sun Jul 27, 2025 12:27 pm

Hi just a quick question I have a pc and a macbook, i wish to backup my 4k bluray films to a NAS/Jellyfin, which external drive would you recommend to buy to and is it easier to change the firmware on a pc rather than a macbook, and thanks for any replies.

SDFtool is a GUI application for flashing drives that only works on Windows. It is probably the easiest way to flash a drive. On a Mac, you can flash via the command line using Terminal. Depending on your level of comfort using the command line, it is also pretty straightforward.
