I’m surprised that usb Blu-ray drives are as expensive as they are still, low supply and mostly only niche demand I guess? Was hoping to get one to make some copies of my physical media, but spending $100ish for a usb drive hurts haha

I just bought a second PC Blu-ray writer just in case this would happen. Nice.
Need it to rip my BDs

What’s the make and model number? The link is funky if your AMZN location isn’t set to UK

BP60NB10, though that may be different by region.
Also had just as much success, including with UHD BD, with the older BP50NB40.

For internal desktop drives, I have the WH16NS40. After flashing some open firmware on it, it works perfectly for playing and ripping BRs. Looks like I’ll be picking up a spare in case this one dies.
The MakeMKV forum has a lot of good tips and instructions on selecting and configuring BluRay drives.
