Hi - I'm a longtime lurker, but only just registered to be able to post. I'm also a paid registered user of makemkv (after using it for free for many years). I posted my drive info earlier today, but being new, my post was moderated and removed as a duplicate. I don't think I double-posted, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Anyway - I just got a new drive, and the drive info looks exactly like what was posted here, except for the serial number and the Highest AACS version (mine is 82). This seems to be the correct thread to inquire about using this drive with UHD discs. Thanks.

i have found a Verbatim 43887 for sale which apparently has one of these drives in it, according to the posts around the place. What is the process for getting these to work ? I see that people dump the drive information and post here and someone sends. PM Sent ? Whats in the PM to make this work?
