Based on recent messages, it looks like this drive can be made to read UHD discs. Is that true?

Well now pioneer drives don't work.
Can we put on the UHD Flashing Guide that Pioneer drives with newer firmware don't work.

Hi,
I got this Verbatim/Pioneer drive recently and was hoping that it would work for opening UHD discs with MakeMKV.
It just starts the process and then ends on failed to open disc.
From what i could understand it is not to new to work. Could someone here please help me?
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, your drive is already UHD capable. Just clean the disc before trying again. Make sure the drive is getting enough power by using USB-C if possible or using USB-A port direclty off the motherboard or a powered (35+ watts) USB hub.

Also, ensure the OS initializes the disc before opening MakeMKV.
