Pioneer BDr-XD08U Slow [SOLVED] [Network Issue]
Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2026 7:11 pm
Have this drive with FW 1.04. Bought it maybe 2-3 months ago.
Over time I have noticed it has become incredibly slow to rip UHDs (it was a champ prior to this!). For example on my Seinfeld UHDs it can take hours to rip one disc. These are triple layer discs - at least the bath I am on now, so maybe that is an issue for this drive... MakeMKV does not show any errors, and it says the read rate is 12.6 M/s [2.9x], but the write seems to pause/stutter in larger files and in between files it can take some time before the next file processing begins. Note these are also full backups, not rips to MKV
Not sure if others have experienced issues with this drive over time.
