You may have to flash custom firmware (Opens in a new window) or roll back to an older firmware version in order to read those 4K discs. If you already have a Blu-ray drive, you can poke around the MakeMKV forums (Opens in a new window) to see if it's usable for 4K Blu-rays, or you can buy one of their recommended drives.

If you want to rip 4K UHD Blu-rays, however, your choices are more limited. You can buy an external one (Opens in a new window) that connects over USB, or an internal one (Opens in a new window) for your desktop-either is fine. In order to rip those movies to your PC, you'll need an optical drive in your PC that can read Blu-ray discs-a DVD drive is not enough.
