Question. Is there a good place to try and find these drives? Is it risky to buy from eBay and Amazon, or is that a sure fire way.
Buying used LG drives is very risky people usually dump them after they had problems and got a pioneer.

Wait a month or so I will have pioneers soon again

Hi. I have been buying and returning external blue ray rippers lately, trying to find one that would work to read and rip 4k UHD. This is the last one I got and it has firmware from 12/2022.
