4K/UHD Buffalo 5 1/4" USB w/LG drives for sale, new, pre-flashed & tested!

[nicholfd]

Hello,

[2026-03-05 Update] - New shipment arrived. Drives are on-hand & normally ship by next business day.

I'll periodically update this first post when stock is low, or I have additional drives coming.

I have NEW Buffalo 5 1/4" USB drives on-hand. All have been opened, connected to a Mac & had the drive and firmware verified with MakeMKV. They have a LG drive with firmware that I have flashed to be 4K/UHD compatible, for backing up 4K/UHD discs.

Drive details from MakeMKV:
LibreDrive Information
Drive platform: MT1959

I'm selling the drives for $270 USD, already flashed, new in box (only opened to verify drive Mfg/Model/flash Firmware).

These drives come with a disc of software that you *SHOULD NOT* use. Some software may offer/attempt to "update" a drive. If that software is installed/run, it may make the drive unusable with MakeMKV. I only include the discs, because they come in the box with the new drive.

Any questions, feel free to send me a PM, e-mail or post in this thread.

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank, will these drives process blue ray DVDs? If not do you recommend any that do?

I am looking for an external drive to connect to a MacOS laptop.

Thanks!

Hello!

Yes - the drives are capable of reading/ripping audio, DVD, Blu-Ray & 4K/UHD discs

They are OS-agnostic - work equally as well with macOS, Linux or Windows via USB.

I have both slim-portable drives & these 5 1/4" desktop style drives on-hand, available for purchase. Links to what is currently available are in my signature. Please e-mail me at the e-mail address in the signature if you are interested or have any questions about the different models.

Thanks,
Frank
