Asmcom Review It’s long past time that I wrote a promised review of my interactions with and drive purchases from Asmcom. In 2025, having built a new PC, with the express intention of making it UHD friendly, I soon encountered the challenges of playback and ripping. Having scoured the internet for s...

I think it’s pretty disrespectful to slate the equipment that Asmcom has provided you with. There is no better person or place to deal with when it comes to these drives. What you also seem not to grasp is the depth and breadth of a huge community that have been given first rate sales and support by...

Huh. Paypal friends and family as a bit strange, that does not work worldwide from what I can tell. Payment option is strange, at least for me. Absolutely trust the payment method. I bought two drives from Asmcom that way last year and the drives arrived in record time and exquisitely packaged. Buy...

In 2025, the consumer UHD Blu-ray drive market has crossed a critical threshold... Yikes! But if no-one is manufacturing drives any more, is anyone still making dedicated standalone UHD players? Because such players must obviously contain some model of OEM UHD drive. "Consumer" UHD drives...

That's excellent advice, and I concur 100%. Just use the drive for ripping and neither playing nor burning! Thanks for the comment, Coopervid. Yes, this is a great point; using a high-end Pioneer UHD Blu-ray drive for direct playback is a fast way to wear out an increasingly rare and valuable piece...

Hi there, I hope you are better. Sorry but I quite don't understand. On the first post is says the website will be working on the next seven days, while on your recent post you mentioned it will open on 16th of June. Can you please clarify me when it will open? Do you ship from UK right? Or From an...

Kind Regards

I’m very sad to hear that. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Why is the only payment option PayPal Friends & Family? Seems kinda sketchy no? From what I've read and going by the name, it should only be used for payments to friends and family, using it in a webshop seems kinda suspicious. I ordered my drive on Thursday and got an immediate receipt via ema...

Now live again and hopefully all bugs now sorted The website is now live. Please be patient as there might be a few bugs, but nothing that can't be sorted. https://shop.uhdfriendlydrives.co.uk Hi Asmcom, Just placed my order for a Pioneer BDRS13E-X103DX2 Drive with Vantec DX2 Enclosure. So excited!...

Direct playback can be done using a UHD official or friendly drive connected to any decent spec PC via MakeMKV and an unofficial player such as VLC etc once integtrated. None of this SGX crap required. So you’re saying that you can just place a 4K movie disc in your disc tray and play it? No need t...

Direct playback isn't possible with none of the UHD drives. Doesn't matter if native or flashed. Exception: You have a PC with an Intel SGX chipset and a software player that have no restriction for direct playback. Direct playback can be done using a UHD official or friendly drive connected to any...
