Re: Something Interesting about this drive BDW-PR1EPDVPP100

OPU = Optical Pickup Unit.
In my opinion, this swap won't work, if only because it uses different software.
If you can, return this drive. It was probably taken out of a damaged Epson DiscProducer duplicator.

Re: Something Interesting about this drive BDW-PR1EPDVPP100

It has no equivalent in Pioneer's retail lineup. This drive was most likely developed specifically for Seiko Corp. (Epson). Technically, it uses hardware very similar to the Pioneer BDR‑209/S09 - the same ONP‑8342A mainboard and the Renesas R8J32740FP42 chipset. The only differences are OPU and diff...

Re: SBW-06D2X-U 4KUHD Help

Let me add a bit of information for future reference. The Pioneer RS8591 drive platform used in the Asus SBC‑06D2X‑U cannot be flashed.
For UHD discs, the suitable option is the RS8511 drive platform found in the Asus SBW‑06D2X‑U. That drive can be crossflashed to a Pioneer BDR‑UD04.

Re: SBW-06D2X-U 4KUHD Help

Does anyone know whether the ASUS SB C ‑06D2X‑U enclosure contained only Pioneer BDR‑UD03 drives, or were there also units with LG drives? If so, which LG model was used inside? By the way, it's strange that Asus sold this device as a Blu‑ray combo, while it actually contained a full-fledged BD writ...

Re: ASUS BW-16D1X-U

Thank you. Are you in the US? Hope you get 2 more Pioneer drives. Heard they are a much better? I‘m in Europe. The two other drives just arrived, both are from November 2025 too and have the same ASUS/LG drive in them. Looks like the BW-16D1X-U with a Pioneer BDR-212T in it have a serialnumber begi...
