I am testing it out now. In an abundance of caution I had done nothing other than booting up makemkv and seeing if I could read the drive from the GUI flasher.

Testing a disc now.

Will I want to flash at some point?

No. If it reads UHDs you are just fine.

Vundebar!

The first easy drive experience I've had haha.

And I presume the general guidance to avoid any firmware update. Do you know if that's a windows update risk?

No. Just never update your drive's firmware. You would ruin it.
