@maddy btw i saw this bluray burner when i was doomscrolling aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810619666523.html
dunno if you're still looking for those but isn't 87 USD a good price for one?
tho it's aliexpres and there's little info so obviously kind of risky even tho it's legit according to comments
edit: well some comments say it's fake or defective so

@jiub Looks like it's a working blu-ray drive at best, but very unlikely to be one that works with UHD discs or OmniDrive firmware. Hard pass - there are better deals (on used drives) to be had from more reputable sellers on eBay and such.
@maddy good to know! i always forget that uhd is a whole different format 
only bluray device i've had is my ps4

@jiub It's really silly because Blu-ray as a format was meant to be extendable, and that was part of the reason for most every player and reader having firmware updates (besides AACS bullshit). Theoretically, being able to read/write BD-XL/UHD shouldn't have needed more than a firmware update for existing Blu-ray hardware, though that doesn't necessarily account for the updated protections that UHD discs have.
@jiub I read some Blu-ray technical docs ages ago, and I also remember it talking about how you could potentially get up to 100 layers on a disc.
