Got this drive and didn't know about the UHD not turned on. Could my drive be updated to work also?

Hello

I was looking to buy a Verbatim 43888 but the prices on Amazon Uk have been quite high recently and now they are not available at all. The 43890 is available and is cheaper than the 43888 but I saw that the 43890 has to be flashed to read UHD’s.

So would it be best to wait for the 43888 to come back into stock or just buy the 43890 and flash it? How much does it cost to flash the 43890 and can all 43890’s be flashed?

Thanks.

Hi Billycar11,

I have a Verbatim 43890 and I saw that you said you know how to make it compatible with UHD Blu-rays for Playback and Ripping. I sent an email and just wanted to make sure you got it :) I'm very interested in the auto flash kit you spoke of.

I, too, have just acquired the 43890, foolishly thinking that I could pop in a 4K BD and hit play on my Mac. Would love some help with that custom firmware as well.
Many thanks!
