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.
