Blu-ray optical drives support 4k?

[FreyjasChosen]

Hello, community! Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I can't seem to find any solid answer about this: If I bought a blu-ray drive for my desktop computer, specifically either the ASUS BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS 12X Blu-ray Internal Burner Drive or the Asus Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-Ray Drive, would it be able to play 4K discs when they're more common? I'd like to make my computer a blu-ray player, but I also want to know if it will be future-proof or not.

Thanks!

Yes it would be able to play 4K, but you have to keep in mind, that you might need a software solution to play bluerays on pc + a strong enough GPU.
