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'd be primarily using it on a Linux Mint machine, but I've currently got it plugged into a Windows 10 computer. I assume flashing it would work regardless of where I plug it in? Here's the information from Makemkv:

To flash you need Windows anyway. So try with a Windows PC or install a VM. VMWare is recommended.
