Sorry for the late reply but yes, I contacted Alex through MakeMKV he set me up with a ASUS BW-16D1HT with the proper firmware and tested it and would not accept payment until I had it up and running at home. 135.00 but there are less expensive drives.
Studly, thanks for that info.
I think $135 is a reasonable price for that drive, modded to UHD friendliness.
I'm probably not getting a new drive until March or so.
Mind if I check in with you then to see how the drive is performing at that point?
