i have too many drives... so getting confused with it all...
Hehehehe!!!!
Enable ask for single drive mode in makemkv looks like it's not from your pics
i tend to rip 4 to 6 different movies at the same time, so i guess single drive mode would not be an option for me..
Hehehehe!!!

Hhhhh it would help with that trust me
You would never get the drive interference I rip 12 at a time for testing drives I would know....
As 1 makemkv instance would only see 1 drive not hold everything up as it looks at each drive

Nope. Firmware is too new. It must be pre 12/2022 to be UHD compatible. You will have to wait for future support.
Cheers :D

This drive was manufactured august 2021 so the firmware must have been updated. I don't suppose there is a way to flash it back to original?
