How do I get this one 4K UHD Drive to read and open 4K Blu-Rays on MakeMKV? It keeps saying that it's failing to open the disc.

Your drive needs to be flashed to enable libredrive. Your Archgon can be flashed to BU40N 1.03-MK for use with MakeMKV and AnyDVD only or BU40N 1.00 for use with all ripping software.

If you aren't sure about doing it yourself you can get an automated Flasher from me (link in signature) or Billy.
