Hi all,
I have a ASUS BC-12D2HT which I have been using for quite a few years now. Over the years I have had about 95% success on ripping my UHD's after quite a lot of retrying runs after cleaning/ejecting or having to do a full backup of a disk to rip it :l . I had a UHD 4k explode in my drive last week as it had trouble reading the disk, I have since stripped it all down/cleaned and updated from 3.00 to 3.11MK it ripped one UHD after this but recent disk's i have are failing backups or half way etc. Might be the disk's but never seemed to had this many issues even one 1080BD is giving me issue
Looking at Pioneer-BDR-XD07TB-Slim-Portable-Burner £95
Looking for suggestions because i'm willing to spend more if another drive is known to be more reliable
Thanks in advance

Not going to work out of the box and you can't flash it pioneers need to be flashed by a seller who sells pioneers for now

Thanks I did not know that about pioneers. Any other manufacturers you cant flash? I had to flash my ASUS a few versions before I got it down to 3.00 4 years ago.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 12:56 pmNot going to work out of the box and you can't flash it pioneers need to be flashed by a seller who sells pioneers for now

Hey OP,
Check out the Pioneer BDR-S13J-X. If you are happy for going reliability over the price + never having to worry about flashing firmware. Grab that, it's expensive but an absolute machine that works with the UHD discs with no messing about required. Ripped 100+ discs now and am loving it!
It's actually come down a lot in price since I bought mine, so I definately recommend picking it up!

The Pioneer BDR-S13J-X never fails.

Not right now. Since Dec 2022 they come with a firmware that doesn't work for UHD ripping. If you want to rip with a Pioneer get a drive from the sellers in this forum or wait until a fix for the new firmware is available.reliablemkvmachine wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 11:40 amHey OP,
