   My unknown condition external Blu-Ray drive arrived July 5. Model is a Pioneer BDR-XD07B, so no UHD. Not that it matters, since my intention is to burn data discs.
   
   ...The drive has shipping firmware, version 1.02.
   
   Short of it, it works... the reading part, anyway. I have not tested the writing part yet. CDs and DVDs work, but I have no Blu-Ray data disc, but do have a few Playstation 3 discs. Unsurprisingly, those BDs aren't recognized by the player... a bit of a good sign.
   
   It also tripped my USB 3.0 controller on my laptop, and seems borked since. I would have to reboot it after the data integrity check on the MediaDrive is finished.

     Hard shut down the system and turned it back on. The USB 3.0 ports are back!
     
     Also learned that using the front port with the external Blu-Ray drive causes the connection issue, while the rear one does not... This is odd.
