Really Really stupid question : External UHD drive and Apple Mac mini
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2026 8:21 am
Hello everyone,
I'm really sorry to ask you this really dumb question, but I can't find a definite answer...
I have a Mac mini and I would like to rip some of my 4K BD, with a drive that I would connect using a USB cable. I was going to buy this drive

but one of my friend told me with a real assurance that 4K/USD BD can only be read on Intel platforms. Only Intel processors, they don't work on AMD processors.
I read the forum, the MakeMKV MacOS section, people seem to be able to rip 4K/UHD BD, but...
Really sorry to ask such a stupid question, you're my only hope, Obi Wan
