Other then that, it's been working great and I'm happy with my purchase. The other reviews were right, it does sound like a spaceship taking off! No idea how this means in terms of build quality, so I'll update my review if I have any problems with it. The thing is loud though! I attached a 2 part video for you guys to hear. The drive seems pretty speedy and works great to read DVD, regular Blu-ray's and UHD Blu-ray's. Once I flashed it to the right firmware, my UHD discs worked correctly. If you're new to this, he has some other videos that will be useful for you guys to watch. I got the pack I needed, but didn't select the right firmware to flash it. I first didn't do this and spent an entire morning researching it. He uses the exact same drive, shows you where to get it and walks you through it. To help yourself, look up on YT a video called "How to Flash 4K UHD Blu-ray Drive for Ripping Movies & TV Shows with MakeMKV" by TROYPOINT. To do so you'll need to go to the MakeMKV forums and get the right package to do it. It doesn't ship with the firmware version you need, so you'll need a PC to revert it back. I can't give this a full 5 star review, because of what you have to do to get it to read UHD 4K discs. I already had another UHD friendly drive in my Unraid Tower, but figured why not future proof this one and spend a tad bit more money to get it. Came across this one, and based on the good reviews decided to give it a try. So my previous external Blu-ray drive failed and I went looking for a new one.
