Hello, I recently bought an ASUS SBW-06D5H-U and thought it can read 4K UHD too (even though it's BDXL compatible). Is there a firmware that can unlock the external drive?

Re: Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility
Hello Coopervid,
i have came recently to the conclusion that the ODD´s have had it´s peak and are now beyond.
News about the discontinuation of Blu-ray disc production for consumers (Sony) and Blu-ray players (LG) drew my attention back to my external drive, which I had almost forgotten about and barely used.
And guess what? It's a BD-RW BDR-UD03 with the Verbatim logo on it. Bouht it years ago. I couldn´t believe it as makemkv told me so and even more as i come to read your thread here, becoming aware of the possibility that it might read UHD Discs.
Please let me know what is required to get this to work with MKV+UHDs.
Thank you very much.
