Downgrade firmware to v1.02 to make full use of it.
Here YouTube video.

Check to see it works as QC is suspect. As long as it does best bang. Long time since 2018 on SD.

External enclosure (not sure if u need to buy one with adapter but in past got everything for $50 so msrp went up):

Grabbed one last week sold by Amazon.com. I successfully flashed it to the 1.02MK firmware using this USB adadpter:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

and was able to rip a UHD title with MakeMKV.
Keep in mind that if you have a 12th gen Intel, you won't be able to use this to play standard or 4K Blu-ray movies on your PC because Intel removed some required HDCP security thing from their newest chips (citing that the HDCP handshake protocol is a security vulnerability).

What do you mean by "function"?

The main reason for users of this drive is to update to 4K-rip friendly firmware. Then rip their 4K UHD discs to play using Plex Server or Kodi.

What do these usually go for? Doesn't show a discount listed on the Amazon page. Where's the "deal" here?

The post just says "without software" so I'm a bit confused at what software is needed

I have one of these and it was great while it lasted. Unfortunately, it died after only a year or two. It happened right in the middle of reading a Blu-Ray. It will still read DVDs but not Blu-Rays. I replaced it with the 16x version. Hopefully that one holds up better.
