So I have a Apple/Mac Studio and that is what I want to use for ripping 4k discs. I've been looking at drives and it seems that a lot of them will need to be flashed with some firmware to work. (Correct me if that assumption is wrong). While I'm highly technical and have decades of experience with linux/unix and troubleshooting, I'm not sure how much of a pain in the ass this process is and more-so on a non-Windows based system. (The last time I had to flash hardware was a mechanical keyboard and the Mac stuff they provided didn't work and I ended up having to MacGuyver up a Windows docker image to do it.) So how much of a pain in the ass is this and would I just be better buying one of the pre-flashed drives for sale here? I'm totally ok "throwing money" at the problem bc at the end of the day I don't want to fiddle with hardware; I would rather put that time to ripping my Star Trek collection.
Thanks in advance
