UHD DRIVE Ebay Purchase

Post by tacocat231 »

I bought a cheap disk drive that was supposed to be one that can read uhd discs. The sticker on the drive does not match what makemkv is telling me. however it seems like i should still be able to flash it but i wanted to double check and get some advice before proceeding. I am a total noob so i really don't know what I'm doing. I attached the picture of the sticker on the disc drive.
