Yeah, I'll probably do little to no burning too. So basically outside of buying from someone in the forum*, my best option is BDR-212V (which is only "UHD friendly") + Vantec NexStar DX2? Is there another Pioneer or other recommended drive that I can buy from regular retailers? *Basically ...

So basically Pioneer "UHD friendly" drives read UHD bluray discs more reliably than LG Official UHD drives? That sounds insane. :shock: yes pioneers are way better at reading hard to read disc but you would never know unless you also have an lg/asus that would struggle with it Do you mean...

Hi. LG BP60NB10 vs BU40N (external): Is one of them preferred over the other? Also, I understand that a few different external models have the BU40N inside them: Archgon MD-8107S-U3-UHD, Verbatim 43888, etc. - they are all the basically same, right? Or is one of them preferred over the others again?...

Can you please share the Amazon link?
Also, you wrote that you were hoping to get one with Pioneer hardware, but if you did, wouldn't you have an issue with the new Pioneer firmware?

Or do you mean that I also have to be lucky enough to end up with one that has an old FW, and that I might get a higher FW and be complet...

Can you please elaborate why both suck? Th...

This will eventually be dealt with. The ETA, whether drive flashing would be required, and the flashing process are yet unknown. We are working as fast as we can.

It's been over two years - is the status still the same? Do you still think this will eventually be dealt with?
Thanks.

Hi. What are the pros/cons of getting an LG BP60NB10 (UHD Official External Slim 9.5mm USB 2.0 | Rip speed 6x BD 66 ~45 mins BD 100 ~1 hour 5mins) vs LG WH16NS40 (UHD Friendly Internal 5.25 sata | Rip speed 8x BD 66 ~45 mins BD 100 ~1 hour if flashed properly) + Vantec NexStar DX2 USB3 enclosure ?
