Re: Are backups worth it in the long run?
It depends on a few factors and on your objective. In my case, I rip almost everything to ISO images in my NAS, then watch them in a Kodi PC.

Re: How many UHD ripping failures can be considered normal?
For an ASUS or LG desktop drive, that's probably a reasonable failure rate. These days, Pioneer drives are considered the best for ripping. I have 2 Pioneer drives, one LG and one ASUS drive. Both the LG and ASUS drive are from before the COVID pandemic (the quality of LG and ASUS drives seemed to ...

How many UHD ripping failures can be considered normal?
Hi, New forum member here. I purchased an Asus BW-16D1HT a couple of weeks ago, flashed the 3.10 firmware, and started ripping my UHD discs. So far I've had 4 failures ('Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR') in 38 discs, i.e., a little over 10%. Just wondering if this rate is consider...
