Think I got the wrong drive WP50NB40

Hiya.
I'm trying to get the highest quality rips possible. I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm interested in a small cluster of mass market discs that already exist, and I don't much care about future content (this isn't something I generally do and that won't be changing with time I believe.)
I bought the discs and I think I got the wrong drive, because it won't actually read any of the 4k UHD discs. For a while I was reading the "what if you can't read it" threads, only to realize that actually I think this drive (an unflashed LG WP50NB40) just doesn't do those discs in the first place.
Oops.
I also learned, in reading those threads, that I probably want an internal drive, and I may-or-may-not want LibreDrive (I'm honestly not sure.)
1. Could someone confirm that my current drive won't do for 4k and/or HDR discs please?
2. Can someone tell me what the best drive to get instead is, please? I do have one 5.25" internal bay left, if needed, but an external drive would be easier to move between machines.
Thanks
