I am new to this scene and a bit confused by everything going on. Can I safely buy a Verbatim 43888 on Amazon and it will just work for ripping 4k discs? I also heard someone say the LG BP60NB10 could work. Will I have to flash one of these? I am comfortable flashing one of them but I just want to know if I actually can because I keep seeing talk that many of them cannot be flashed.

Side question, I plan on doing all of this from my Linux server, is that possible? I understand if it's not that simple. In that case I would just do it from my PC and transfer the files.

Thanks
All drives need to be flashed to be UHD compatible. The 43888 contains a LG BU40N inside and can easily be flashed.

The only drives that can't be flashed are the Pioneer models that contain firmware post 11/2022.
Cheers :D
