Generally, DVDFab can recognize and use any drive that Windows can see and read (usb, mobo-SATA, eSATA etc) There are many users in the forum that have Ryzen cpus that seem to work fine, but they may have different motherboards than what you have. LG drives are highly recommended by DVDFab and many users, but you must buy carefully to make sure you get one with “UHD Friendly” firmware if you want to use it for that. The page linked above has a list of drives that are known to work or can be firmware fixed by the DVDFab Drive Tool to use with 4kUHD discs. I use two of the LG BE16NU50 usb drives with excellent results but they have become hard to find. If you want an external drive, search for this item number on ebay 223986091856 (not endorsed officially here). Avoid the slim-type drives, many are not mechanically robust and are often slower.
