Hi everyone,I am very new to this site and wish to purchase a drive capable of ripping 4k blu ray to a nas drive
See this drive is available on amazon and until very recently compatable with libre flashing,
Before I purchase can someone please confirm this is still the situation, or can someone recommend a drive that is still compatable,
Thank you all in advance for any replies on this fascinating subject

Yes, you can flash it to 1.03MK and all will be fine.

I've just bought this exact drive off Amazon (UK), and can confirm flashing it to 1.03MK worked.

Mine was labelled as Manufactured Jan 2025, with a ROM version of 1.05.
Followed the instructions in the UHD drives forum link , and also watched the linked video, as that makes slightly clearer the command line to use and 30 seconds later it was done, and makemkv then reports fully unlocked and libredrive working.
