Looking for Pioneer external drive in US
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2025 2:27 pm
Good morning,
I currently have a BU40N FW 1.03 drive that works most of the time, however, I have several discs that it constantly throws errors. I'm talking about brand new, UHD discs. One of them (MIB II), I went back to the manufacturer, they sent me a new disc, and it still wouldn't read the disc without errors.
I've read that Pioneer drives are better about the errors, and I'd like to try them. I need it to be external, preferably USB-C, as my desktop computer is a Mac Studio.
I've read that the Pioneer drives need to be before 2022, but from my searches on eBay and various other sites, they never tell you the FW version.
What's my best bet?
