Workhorse pioneer drive on eBay?

[GeorgeMech]

I have what is ostensibly an s11jx drive en route. What’s a good pioneer workhorse drive that is uhd friendly with many of hours of use in these forums, highly regarded for longevity, but not x13 1500usd unobtainum? I see some s12jx’s. Are these pretty solid? Thanks

Original question still stands, but i thought I would update that the S11jx i ordered (but have not yet verified against makemkv) just arrived and the sticker info matches. There is what appears to be factory cellophane material still adhering to the drive and it is otherwise immaculate. I also only ordered it maybe 10 days ago? Perhaps i had done good fortune. Manufacturing date on the sticker is April 2022 so we will see how it goes, given all the negative experiences with China sourced drives.

The price was 160 obo, i countered 143, they countered 150, I accepted. drive was 160usd taxed and shipped.

I just wanted to mention how much I appreciate this site and all the information regarding MakeMKV that others have contributed here. It's quite useful, especially when I'm attempting to keep track of my media library. Thanks again for making such a lively community!

Everthing is fine. Max rip speed for Pioneers and UHDs is 4x.
