Pros: If I could give this product 10 eggs I would. I use the software MakeMKV, the libre drive mode allows this UHD friendly optical drive to completely bypass the DRM via Libre Drive mode. They lock the firmware of this drive so that it wont accidentally get updated and make the drive not useable. I am able to Rip lossless 4K HDR content to an MKV container and play it on my Synology DS918+ NAS. I applaud any company that takes the sides of the people rather then the MPAA, because according to them we dont actually "own" the media we purchase with our hard earned money. So thank you to whoever came up with this Drive work around, and thank MakeMKV. I would recommend spending the money on unlocking MakeMKV also to support the cause. Well worth it in my book.
Cons: Only Con is that I tried to use this drive externally with a Sata to Usb 3.0 cable, and I tried so many different things to make it work but Windows just wouldn't recognize it as an Optical drive. Not really an issue, I just swapped it with one of my other drives. Their little instruction paper that came with the drive said that it works with Sata to USB cables, but I gave up after about 2 hours of troubleshooting. This does not subtract an egg, as this drive is an internal drive to begin with.
