I checked on the regular BDs I have and those appear to play/rip fine enough on the writer, but I have been told that I could possibly rip UHDs from it. Here is the information on the writer in question:

Any chance I can obtain the scoop on how to update to the UHD possibility? Many thanks if yes.

Also anyone know how long it takes to copy a UHD disk? It takes me about 1.5 hours to copy a blu ray.

Cheers and thanks.

I'd love to be able to enable my Verbatim drive to be able to Rip 4k UHDs. I've performed other Firmware flashes with the SDFtool before (ASUS drives), but have some stubborn discs that the ASUS won't rip.
