Pioneer bdr 209 and Pioneer bdr 209m

[Coopervid]

Hi Cooper,

I have both Pioneer BDR-209D and BDR-209M drives. My OS on both computers is Windows 10, but for some reason I cannot access the System Information of the optical drives. I tried both Device Manager and System Information. The details of the drives are not showing on the right pane of each window. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get you the drive information of both drives, so I can see if I can flash them.

Thank you, sir.

You need to install Makemkv and run it. It will show then the information you should post.

Thank you, Cooper, for the guidance. Please see below:

Hey Coopervid, I got the following message: "Drive and firmware hardware types don't match". Any ideas? This is an internal drive by the way.

Here is the information again, and also what BDRflash is providing, just in case.

Check the force flash box.

Is it better to have two Pioneer BDR 209-DBKs or one Pioneer BDR 209-DBK and one LG BU40N? I have a limited budget and have to decide between one of these two options.

Your decision. The Pioneer will rip hard to read discs while thr BU40 will rip faster when there is no problem to read the disc. 209 can be flashed to read UHDs as well. I personally would go with the Pioneers and flash both for UHD.

Now i have the two drives:
