PSA: New Archgon UHD drives do not allow flashing

[blind-s33r]

Post the Makemkv info. Make sure it's a MT1959 drive. You know that you have to switch enclosures for flashing?

Return it.

Eh, the drive itself works perfectly fine in the old enclosure for 4k ripping, Ill hold off as I needed the drive either way and hope in the future the enclosure will be supported...

Your decision. A SATA>USB adapter will work. But that's cumbersome.

I did notice that it never says Using libredrive mode when trying to start a rip so I have to assume that thats the issue, it wont even use libredrive mode on dvd's or blurays either...

Post your Makemkv info. I guess it's not flashed successfully.

I already did, as I said the drive itself works in the old enclosure. Its just the new enclosure that's the issue. Maybe mike can bypass the restriction in a future version of makemkv if that is the root issue.

Now. If you are on Linux go back to a 17.x version of Makemkv since 18.x versions don't work OK:

18.x works fine for me, I've never had the issues most other people have as I build it from source... its the enclosure.
