To piggyback, is there a good USB Blu ray drive?

(And is there a known good CLI tool for backing up copies of them?)

I have some Blu Rays I worry will be lost to disc rot 20 years from now...

I've used the Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD[0] and that's worked well with MakeMKV[1]! I've only tried it on normal DVDs, but Blu-Rays should work well too.

In this case you need a drive with firmware older than February 2023's v1.03 which disabled MakeMKV's LibreDrive. Mine is v1.01. See here: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30383

Mine was purchased after that date, does that only apply to Blu-Ray?
