Can I swap the drive in the archgon MD-8107-U3

Post by thelackey3326 »

I have an archgon MD-8107-U3 (a BU40N in a USB3 enclosure). Been using it to rip DVD, Blu-Ray, and UHD Blu-Ray discs for a while, and have ripped maybe 50 discs. Well, it no longer completes rips in MakeMKV. Always fails with tons of errors, and has a super loud rattle while the disc is spinning at speed. I have another flashed BU40N on the sideline and would like to put it in the enclosure, but I don't see a way to remove the existing drive. Is there a way to remove the existing drive and put in a new one?

That was it! The two back feet had screws underneath. The other two did not, although one should have. Drive swapped out and back in service. Thanks!
