Thank you for your quick answer (but damned I didn't plan to buy another one). I don't know where to buy it in Europe as there is nothing available on https://shop.uhdfriendlydrives.co.uk/ at the moment. Anybody could help ? Check Verbatim 43890 on amazon. They will be available on Amazon.pl soon, ...

That's why I use a cabel USB-C to USB-C.

Hello Again Denis, I was offered 200 of the old type Verbatim 43888 with the BDR-UD04 two weeks ago, and I refused because of the issues we have experienced with this drive and also the issues customers have had on the DB poweramp forum. Out of every hundred drives, we had 10% that went faulty with...

Or from official site:

https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-BU40N.AVAA10B

That the same file in crc, but Mediafire server may not be available in his country or may be experiencing an outage.

Hello, I have the exact same drive but where can I find the needed files? Like the .bin and SDF.bin (I'm very new to makemkv and this topic) Check what hardware platform you have. MT1959 is Hitachi-LG, and you have the SDFtool Flasher application there: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php...

BDR-UD04 has an AACS 2.0 chip, Pioneer BDR-UD03 hasn't.
1.20 FW I see in BDR-UD04D, in BDR-UD04 I have 1.14. What are the differences between them? I don't know.

Yes, that could be the case that the BP55EB40 is older. I know the place that has them in stock is not a computer place, they sell a lot of other things so the small amount of electronics they have they keep for a long time. If it only has that older mini USB3 connector I guess the Verbatim is a be...

I recently asked Coopervid and platform 8591 is a combo and can't be flashed.

BP55EB40 is probably very old and harder to find than Pioneer, at least where I live.

Mine Verbatim 43888 with Pioneer BDR-UD04 is from June 2024

Old 43888 had Pioneer BDR-UD04, not BDR-UD03, new has Hitachi-LG BU40N

Hi.
Has anyone bought drives from AliExpress that look like a Pioneer Drive? Are they genuine?

Example:

Many fakes, be very careful and expect to be scammed.

I suspected possible fakes, so I preferred to ask.

Try asking if they will accept a batch of sealed, expired COVID19 test kits with new fake dates on them for a fake blu-ray drive.

WTF?
