LOVE my new BDR-S13U-X from Billy! Makes me wish I came to him in the first place

I don't necessarily mind buying more drives to make space, but just Star Trek alone has over 550 hours of content, and that's before the new shows. With only DS9 and Voyager being on DVD, that's a lot of Blu-Rays, and the occasional 4K. I'm already over 2 TBs and I'm not even done with DS9 yet. All ...

This is quite the coincidence, I am also in the process of ripping my Star Trek disks!

Hello all,

I have a BDR-XD08UMB-S, and it's been excellent in ripping my Blu-Rays, and I just started today on some DVDs (much more noisy but faster). I missed one teensy tiny detail as to the date the firmware was from when I bought it 😑 but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

Thank you!

Hello all! I've been lurking here for a bit, checking out the various drives, figuring out just how deep I want to get into this entire process, and decided I might as well make it official and create an account. It's only been about two weeks since I started ripping my Blu-Rays, and it's really awe...
