Supported External UHD BluRay Drive for Mac

[CraigMcArthur]

Hey

 

Pretty much just as the title says. I'm trying to find an external UHD BluRay drive for my M1 MacBook to rip backups of my UHD BluRay discs.

 

Any suggestions? I've seen mixed reviews about what supports UHD and even more notes saying Mac is not supported by many.

 

I thought this would have been an easier bit of kit to find.

 

Thanks

I'd be surprised if there were any major driver issues with MacOS - but you have to be VERY specific about which Model and firmware level you get with the UHD Blu-Ray drive for it to be able to rip 4K Blu-Rays.
