I stumbled upon this post as I am finding via research that this drive can read 4K UHD discs, but placing one inside the device results in No disc.

I see in this post that you are providing assistance with this. If you are still, I would appreciate any that you are willing to send my way.

Wound up with one of these as my second drive in a rack server next to an ASUS that I flashed years ago. Would love to be able to fully unlock it for UHD.
