Hey guys!
Lurking around the forum and trying to learn new things, my drive is a Asus BW-16D1H-U Pro, and a PIONEER BDR-209 inside it seems (Patched last night with the help of billy). I'm reading everywhere that the pioneer machines ranks the highest, but what about rebranded pioneer, is my drive 'OK', or should i opt for something better in the not so far future? I see my max reading speed of a UHD is about 4.1X (17.2mb/s)

Thanks for the wisdom, I'll do just that
Now friend is in a pickle, there's one drive on market here in norway, and that is the
Verbatim Ultra HD 4K - BDXL drive - SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 - external - Bluray-BDRW (Brenner) - USB 3.1 - Svart
the question is what kind of machinary is on the inside, and will it do the job for the years to come
(price about 1500,- NOK, which is roughly $156.53 not that bad
