Pioneer BDR-XS06 flashable?

Hey guys I'm super new here and to the world of DVD/Blu ray ripping.
I've ordered and received a verbatim 43890 to use which I still need to setup (still in the box)
My question is I noticed on my local buy and trade someone selling a BDR-XS06 pioneer drive.
It's a slim external drive and although I have searched Reddit and this forum I haven't been able to find a definitive answer if this drive would work.
The seller is asking $80 and is in great condition from what I can tell
Am I best to just stick with the verbatim (apparently pioneer drive)
Or would the BDR XS06 save me money and work as well?
I appreciate everyone's willingness to help all the noobs like myself here

No one can say until you can post the MakeMKV drive & libredrive info sections.

Ahh gotcha
Thanks Marty. I'm starting to realize that makemkv is the tool that pulls the curtain back on what these drives are capable of
Thanks for the answer

If the Verbatim 43890 is already in hand, I'd say set it up and see how it performs before spending more
. The BDR-XS06 is decent, but slim drives can be hit or miss for ripping, especially with 4K discs. For $80, it’s not a steal unless you really need a backup.
