UHD friendly drive list¶

Some Blu-ray drives can read UHD discs because of certain defects. Instead of executing the AACS 2.0 rules, they execute the AACS 1.0 rules, which allows us to decrypt and read them according to the blu-ray method. We call this kind of optical drives “UHD friendly drives”

Risk Tip: We do not recommend that you update the firmware manually to achieve the UHD friendly feature, as this is likely to damage your Blu-ray drive. Because the methods of updating the firmware are very complex, even if you can use some tool software to quickly complete the firmware update, there is still the possibility of failure. If you fail, you may void the warranty.

The good news is that there is not any risk if you buy one Plug and Play UHD friendly drive from a professional seller. As manufacturers have gradually discontinued the models of the UHD friendly drive, so it is recommended that you buy one Plug and Play UHD friendly drive as soon as possible before the professional sellers run out of stock.
