Just recently I purchased Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection, The Hobbit: Trilogy and Lord of the Rings: Trilogy all on 4K UHD and just about every one of the discs it had issues reading and would not even register as a disc in the drive and I could hear it clicking try to read the discs. After a little research I came to the conclusion that this drive has issues reading Triple layered UHD discs the ones that are 100 GB in size. Well all of the movies I just purchased it would not read the discs because they were all on triple layered discs.
After even more research come to find out just about all the slim external drives have this issue and so I started searching for a standard 5.25" UHD optical drive that I could house in a case since my computer is all tempered glass. Another thing to look out for is what type of case or connector to use on the standard sized drives since not all of them will allow you to flash the drive through them. If in the market look to the MakeMKV forums for info on what drives and cases are good to use for making backup copies. I wound up going for the LG WH16NS60 and a Unitek Y-1099 SATA adapter converter for output to USB both of which you can find here on Amazon.
All in all it's a decent drive for backing up standard smaller sized 4K discs and your standard BluRay's but be warned that it will have severe issues reading triple layered 4K discs which a lot of the newer movies are releasing on and as more and more 4K movies start carrying supplementals on the disc you'll find that the disc is more than likely going to be a triple layered disc.
Currently able to rip 95% of Blu rays on fedora 36 using official stable makemkv flatpaks. I did have to downgrade the firmware using a program in windows to read 4k discs but it works great if you put in the effort and follow the directions available to you online.

In terms of quality, the thing is nice but definitely not the same heft of an internal drive. Really nice that it comes with a case!
