The drive is not the issue.
Most Blu-Ray disks have DRM encryption. There simply doesn't seem to be a (legal) decryption mechanism on PC, probably to avoid people ripping the movies.
I was under the impression that software like PowerDVD could play 4K HDR media if you're using Windows.
And at the end of the day, it is also (generally accepted as 'probably') legal to decrypt the media using whatever other methods available as long as you are only doing so to back up or enable viewing for yourself.
No, PowerDVD doesn't support it. It requires discontinued Intel SGX hardware features which are not present in current products. https://www.cyberlink.com/support-center/faq/content?id=19144
AACSv2, which is used to DRM UHD bluray disks has just been broken. Maybe we'll see a new generation of backup tools soon.

Sounds good. I didn't have issues sourcing 4k UHD pirated material.
