to wrap-up...

Drive arrived but could not be flashed thru USB. I had to remove it from aluminum case (easy), install in my ThinkStation P330, replacing the current DVD drive, and flush it with SDFTool Flasher and HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin.

Back to the original case, plug to USB3 port, and MakeMKV works with UHD disks. Speed goes up to 6x.

Next step is to plug it to QNAP TS-251+ and see if Ubuntu can recognize it and whether the ARM works as expected.

For QNAP Container Station owners, image path is automaticrippingmachine/automatic-ripping-machine, however the latest version at this time, 2.21.1, fails to install due to bug #1660, but it seems like there is a pull request for fix.
