It has old firmware and can still be flashed. And you could it return anyway since Amazon's return policy is really good.
Daft question... is there an external drive equivalent?

Buy the Verbatim 43888 on Amazon. It is an UD04 will work out of the box. The enclosure is power hungry. You should use an USB-C port or make sure it gets enough power from an USB-A port. A powered hub will also help.

Try to get the Vinpower 212V. Maybe from Amazon.de. I didn‘t find it in Poland.
Found it on AMZN.de, but they won't ship to PL.
Any alternatives?
Would it handle UHD?
Try ubuy.com.pl. It needs to be flashed. Tell me when you have it.
I've got VinPower 212V. Running Linux.
Would you kindly share flashing instructions?

Hi, I followed your advice and ordered a Vinpower BDR 212V, which will arrive Monday. Any help or guidance to enable libredrive is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Just want to confirm that the drives sold here with flashed firmware will work fine in a dx2 on a Mac Studio running makemkv right?
