Will my Pioneer BDR-209UBK be able to read 4K UHD discs or does it need to be flashed? It works fine with Blu-ray Discs but I am thinking about upgrading my collect to 4K soon and was curious if I can keep using this drive or not. Thanks!

You’re right it didn’t read a UHD disc. I just sent the payment and emailed you back. Just waiting on the flasher now. Thanks!

I also have this drive in a Vantac enclosure. Will this flash enable the drive to be detected by Linux Ubuntu server or just Windows?

For anyone that has a flashed BDR-209UBK, does it read 3 layer UHD Blu-ray disc without issues?
