    What is UHD Drive? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Quite simply, a UHD Drive is an optical or external Blu-ray drive that can read BDXL media. UHD drives are normally labeled \u2018Ultra HD Blu-ray\u2019 or something similar. There are two types of UHD drives, that is the \u2018friendly\u2019 and \u2018unfriendly' 4K UHD drives. The \u2018friendly\u2019 drives can read regular BDXL media without implementing AACS2 protection, while the \u2018unfriendly\u2019 drives implement the AACS2 protection. What that means is the \u2018unfriendly\u2019 drives may not grant you permission to copy or backup, and in some instances even to watch the UHD content. How to tell if the drive is 4K friendly? If it has a regular AACS1 host certificate, then the UHD is 4K UHD friendly. If the 4K UHD drive is not friendly, refer to the third segment of this guide to learn how to make it friendly.<\/p>\n
