Hi guys, thinking to get a second Pioneer drive just in case for the future and I found this in Amazon Spain (it's available in other EU Amazon sites).

What do you think? Is it a dark chinese brand using real pioneer laser?
Any idea if it would be libredrive? The price is tempting.

Actually is a Chinese seller and sends from China.
Waht do you think about pioneer drives from AliExpress? Worth it?

No experience but I'd have my doubts... both about the drive being a Pioneer and the ability to return it.

These drives are mostly used Pioneer components put in a new housing. Usually they work but nobody knows how long. It's your decision to take the risk.
