Thank you Jamie. A absolute pleasure dealing with a gentleman like yourself.MudydyDogs wrote: Sun May 17, 2020 1:21 pm I backup up my DVDs and Blu-rays onto a Plex server running on a 2018 Mac Mini using MakeMKV. I'd been wanting to backup 4K UHD disks as well, but had been nervous about trying to find the right drive and then flashing the correct firmware on to it.
Fortunately I found a thread on here recommending @asmcom as a person who could sell you a pre-flashed drive in the UK (didn't want to pay import duty on a drive from the US).
He was very responsive to all my questions on eBay and sent the drive very quickly when I placed my order.
Well, my new External BW-16D1HT Blu-ray drive (firmware 3.10mk, 4K, Ultra HD, UHD Friendly) arrived a couple of days ago, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. I've tested it with 4K UHD, Blu-ray & DVD and it took everything I could throw at it, including one Blu-ray that my old drive completely refused to backup because of read errors. As an added bonus, it's considerably faster than my old drive![]()
Definitely recommend him if you're after a pre-flashed drive![]()

I wish you health and happiness. I am delighted that you are a happy with your drive and all is performing as I would expect.
