Verbatim 43888 with LG drive?

[Mr_Orange]

Yes the Pioneers are slower. One bad issue is that LG has the "jamless play" feature. The LGs just skip hard ro read sectors. Pioneers don't and LGs flashed to ASUS don't do as well. And the Pioneers are the better readers for hard to read discs. And they are far better burners.

The Verbatim has managed to rip one UHD title that I had cleaned 4 times and still failed to rip with LG, otherwise having two discs ripping at once just saves me time.

I don't burn anything to disc so that's immaterial.

So? You should be a happy camper. Aren't you?

100%. I'm not here with an issue. I was just confirming for another poster that I had ordered from the same place and received the Pioneer version of the 43888.

Fine! But I'm sure soon the Verbatims with BU40 will also arrive here. Then no more Pioneer drives. The last resort now will be the full size 212V.

Hello

I am in the UK and have just bought this drive from Amazon UK and it has come with the Pioneer drive which is all good. However, I am not convinced that the device is brand new. I watched an unboxing video from 2 years ago and it showed that the box was sealed (mine wasn't) and that the USB cable was in a plastic bag (again, mine wasn't).

Could someone who has recently bought this drive confirm if there is a way to check that the drive is new?

Thanks

Hello.
I recently bought the 43888 from Amazon DE (Germany) with the Pioneer drive. The box was sealed and the USB cable was in a plastic bag.

Thanks for confirming. Trying to decide whether to send it back or keep it in case I don’t get the Pioneer drive again.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what to do now as I may send it back and not get a Pioneer drive but I’m also annoyed that the drive is obviously not new.
