In case anyone is interested, this is a UHD friendly drive, and with a firmware downgrade it can read 4K discs.

For people like myself that are tired of paying for too many streaming services but like the convenience of opening an app to play my media, I use this drive to rip my DVDs, Blu Rays, and UHD Blu ray and store the media on a NAS to watch on JellyFin.

Adjusted for inflation, $35 in 2016 is $44 in 2024. The current price is not to far away from the all time lowest price.

Can you explain that last part?
Unless things have changed (which is possible), the ability to rip Blu-Rays required buying the registered version, after a 30-day free trial.

Quote from RUsum1 :
MakeMKV has always been perpetually free. Just go to the website once per month to get the new activation key for the program.
Not all of it. The site is down now but I have an old screenshot. Here's part of what it says:

"MakeMKV contains both freeware and shareware functionality... Converting or streaming Blu-ray discs is shareware functionality. You can use shareware functionality for free during 30-days trial period."

As I mentioned, it's possible this policy has changed but this is how it used to be.

Don't buy this one. Instead get a Pioneer one. Tried LG with about 60 BDs and about 50% failure, but pioneer is almost always able to rip same BD.

this used to be mandatory in every desktop PC. Too bad things have changed.

Another reason to rip movies is because discs do eventually degrade and have issues. Yes, that's years away, but we have a pile of older DVDs that won't work forever. May as well back them up while we can.

Not trolling, just honestly curious about physical media.
Maybe you're backing up home movies, maybe you have years of tv shows you want to store on blu-ray, I don't know.
I make a backup of all my photos onto Bluray. In the past, i would make 2 copies with different brand discs. I have just gone to one now and have 1 copy on a mechanical drive, since 4TB drives are cheaper than 50 bluray discs and stores more.
Blurays are read only. No chance of anyone deleting anything.

Which Pioneer model do you recommend for my Windows 11 PC?

No, you don't have to buy anything for MakeMKV to work. Been doing this for years ripping 4Ks and Blu-rays.

I buy box sets here and individual films from redbox and rip them to my Plex server. I've been using this drive forever and I'm ordering another because quicksync quality is finally good enough that I can use it in Handbrake, making a single drive the bottleneck. This drive is among the fastest, ripping a 4K film in about an hour.

Is there a way to convert this into a USB-connected drive for external use, or is it only usable as an internal drive?
I'm currently using this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09SS74KCN/ and it looks like I'll have to find it elsewhere or try another model.​

With desktop tend recently, there aren't many bays for these. Any enclosures for this model for external usage?
