Hey guys I'm super new here and to the world of DVD/Blu ray ripping.
I've ordered and received a verbatim 43890 to use which I still need to setup (still in the box)
My question is I noticed on my local buy and trade someone selling a BDR-XS06 pioneer drive.
It's a slim external drive and although I have searched Reddit and this forum I haven't been able to find a definitive answer if this drive would work.
The seller is asking $80 and is in great condition from what I can tell
Am I best to just stick with the verbatim (apparently pioneer drive)
Or would the BDR XS06 save me money and work as well?
I appreciate everyone's willingness to help all the noobs like myself here 😀
If the Verbatim 43890 is already in hand, I'd say set it up and see how it performs before spending more
. The BDR-XS06 is decent, but slim drives can be hit or miss for ripping, especially with 4K discs. For $80, it’s not a steal unless you really need a backup.
