Anyone know of a souce for any pioneer flashable drives regardless of price or adjacent (like import knockoffs that are known to work if such a thing exist?
. I did get a LG BP60NB10 and a buffalo for backup. I do have one from billy but considering the supply issue may be permant you know how it is.... Obviously this is a hail marry pass
Any truth that the buffalo drives scratch disks?
Anyway Thx! I know everyone is scrambling to try to get whats left before its all $1000+ or soemthung nutty. Hope are are well.

Portable, USB-powered drives from any manufacturer seem to have an increased potential for scratching discs. I've personally had discs scratched by two Pioneer portable drives (BDR-UD04 and BDR-XS07U). I've known other folks to have negative experiences with LG BU40N/BP50NB40 and Pioneer XD07/XD08 drives.
If you keep your drives on a stable, flat, anti-slip surface and avoid ripping discs with stickers or visible warping you should be fine with any LibreDrive compatible drive.

Yes. The only thing that you need to know that rip speed for all Pioneers and UHD discs is limited to 4x speed. But better slower and successful than a failed rip with LG type drives.
