I put all my music on hard drives ages ago. but I'm retired now and want to get my movies on there as well. I have a Cloner Box pro and also want to rip my Bluray collection to hard drive as well. I was thinking of this drive Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD. but I also heard the newer versions don't work with UHD disks any longer. This will probably sound stupid, but at my age now I'm not sure If I can see the difference between a UHD and Bluray. Biggest TV I can get is all of about 50".
I also just got Handbrake today as well, have to get MakeMKV next. With many going to UHD discs I'm hoping I can get someones great bluray collections cheap and rip them myself, but so far that hasn't happened yet, but I'm still looking.
Been watching movies a long time. Just joined too and glad I found this site
Newbie wants to get a new drive for Blurays?
Re: Newbie wants to get a new drive for Blurays?
When looking over the list viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634, the XS07UHD is a supported drive. However, that page also has a PSA:
I think I'm going to go with the LG Electronics BP60NB10 for now.PSA now most Pioneers come with new fw that prevents them from be crossflashed or downgraded do not buy one for UHD at this time
