I am very new to Kaleidescape so pardon my ignorance but what kind of equipment is needed or what kind of DVD rom drive due I need to import my existing 4K ultra discs into my Kaleidescape E? Is it even possible to import these existing 4K discs to Kaleidescape? Thanks to anyone who can advise me on this issue.

You're overthinking this. Any drive in the same Pioneer family that reads UHD discs should work. You put the disc in and it literally pops out 5 seconds later, it's not anything specialized. Get a drive, put it in an enclosure, start cataloging.

There are dozens for sale on ebay.

@Pwiman, the drive I mentioned is not available. I was reminded it was loaned to another person and has not yet been returned. I emailed this person twice in the past two days but have not heard back. If I do get it returned I'll let you know, and you are welcome to borrow it.
