Do these drives also write?

Yes, of course.

Update: I've got one unit of the Buffalo BRXL-16U3 (Pioneer BDR-209M, cross-flashed to support UHD discs) and one Pioneer BDR-S09XLT available for sale. I currently have approximately 10 items each of the Verbatim 43888, 43889, and 43890 in stock. Feel free to contact me if you would like to purchas...

How much would postage to the UK be? The postage will be 19,49€. I would send the package as a personal gift. However, please keep in mind that you will need to pay UK import VAT; see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-vat-and-customs-duty-on-gifts. If you're comfortable with that, don't hesitate t...

Update: By popular demand, I’m now also offering internal drives like the Pioneer BDR-209 and one external BDR-212.

I prefer shipping within the EU, but I can still ship to the US if you're okay with it being labeled as a personal gift.

Can you ship to USA? Yes, but shipping from Germany to the US is currently a bit tricky due to the tariff situation. I can send the package via DHL for €26.49 (=$30.78) and declare it as a personal gift. Personal gifts valued below $100 are still exempt from duty and tax. There is a chance that the...
