I ended up with an archgon MD-8107 and it has been great. It is external and plugs in via usb, and works great on both my Mac Laptop and my Linux box with MakeMKV.

I think I found it via the forums on MakeMKV to make sure I got one that I could put the correct firmware on.

The only UHD disks that I have had problems ripping are brand new releases. Then I give it a few days and MakeMKV has no problem.

I recently started noticing the hyper competitive bullshit that is everywhere. This shitty belief that the only way you can win is if the opposition loses is really hurting everybody.

Should’ve kept it up as a symbol of our heritage.
