Can I go back? I get the following errors (lots and lots of copies) when trying to read regular blu-ray devices.

Please remove all power from the drive. Power adapter AND USB!!! Try again. If it will not work then please post again. The flash can be reverted if needed.

I performed this and it resolved the issue. It is odd, because I had powered everything down just the day before, so maybe something is flaky. Thank you for the recommendation.

Maybe your power down was too short and the caps kept the voltage up for some time and therefore the reset was not performed.
