    Part 1: What is 4K UHD Drive? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    It is not universal knowledge for UHD drives because not everybody knows it well unless they use UHD drives a lot in daily work or life. Hence, it is necessary to spare some time talking about UHD drives before we get down to talk about the best UHD drives on the market.<\/p>\n

    Typically, a UHD drive is an optical or external Blu-ray drive that can read BDXL media. To identify it from other drives, UHD drives are usually labeled with \u2018Ultra HD Blu-ray\u2019 or something similar. In general, there are two types of UHD drives, namely the \u2018friendly\u2019 and \u2018unfriendly' 4K UHD drives.<\/p>\n

    The \u2018friendly\u2019 drives can read regular BDXL media without implementing AACS2<\/strong><\/a> 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. In contrast, friendly UHD drives can skip executing the AACS 2.0 rules, instead, they execute the AACS 1.0 rules, which allows users to decrypt and read them according to the Blu-ray method.<\/p>\n
