"Just another report" about the excellent service of Asmcom 😉

Post by ironboy »

For me, Asmcom has set a whole new level of customer service. Although Asmcom has been on vacation, they responded to my mails/inquiries within a few hours in a super friendly and competent manner. The device (Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD) was even delivered before the announced delivery date, not least because Asmcom has upgraded the delivery, as a small thank you, free of charge to express. The device reached me in perfect condition and works great. I also found the little extra tips for e.g. MakeMKV settings via email very helpful (again a smal but perfect example of the great customer care). I hope that this device will serve me as long and as well as my old one, but if I need another device in the future, I will definitely order from Asmcom again.

Thanks again and keep going!

Thank you Torsten for such a lovely review of our services, it means a lot to us. It quite funny at the moment as we are dealing with five customers all from Germany, two of which are called Torsten and the other three are called Thorsten. This must be a popular name in Germany, and dealing with the emails can be fun! Lol

We visit Germany quite often and really like the Country. The high standards of manufactured products in Germany are nothing short of amazing. Bavaria is a very nice area, and we plan to go there over Christmas.

You have purchased a brilliant drive, and we am sure you will be very happy with the performance.

Kind Regards

Ordered and received my Pioneer Portable BDR-XD07TS Top Loading 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Writer within 48hrs of requesting a quote.

Fantastic communication and service throughout. They even upgraded my postage free of charge, couldn’t ask for more.

Been spending the morning burning my first batch Blu-rays with a little to no fuss whatsoever.

Highly recommend!

Item 12 - Super Deal £129.99 minus 5% for MakeMKV Members = £123.49

Pioneer BDR-UD04 is now available with Vertbatim Premium enclosure and luxury carry case. This is a super deal as you get a Luxury Travel Case, USB C Cable and USB Micro B with Y Cable. 5% discount for MakeMKV forum members, This discount is not available through eBay

Item 12------------------------https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266144653408

eBay is closed at present; contact us direct by email.

When you insert a disc in the Pioneer drive, it reads the 4k disc within 2 to 3 seconds, with none of these loud seeking noises for 10 to 15 seconds that you get with the Hitachi or ASUS desktop drives. You can walk away now and know when you come back that the disc will be completed successfully and there will be no read errors. We find that ASUS and Hitachi's desktop drives have a 6 to 10% failure rate with 3-layer discs.

Things have moved on in the world of 4K optical drives. The most significant change is that the Pioneer drives can now read 4K Blu-rays. Pioneer has always been a higher quality-build when it comes to optical drives.

All MakeMKV forum members can receive a 5% discount by dealing directly with UHD Friendy Drives and paying through Paypal Direct. In addition, return MakeMKV customers qualify for a 7% discount.

This offer is only for MakeMKV customers. We do not offer this discount on eBay. If you are interested in this offer, please contact us at our email below.

Ordered my Pioneer BDR-S12XLT / Vantec as clumsy me required a robust desktop drive. Works a treat and looks good too!
Packed well, and all done with a few emails.
Can't better the service received within 48hrs of requesting a quote.

Lots of positive comments on here and I can only back all of them up. Super friendly, super service. Could not have tried to do more to try and resolve my issue. Even offered to remote into my PC to have a look at the settings. Returned my drive really quickly. Packaged like it was Christmas. If you need any help or advice or technical support Asmcom is without doubt the person to talk to. Can't recommend highly enough.

Everything was said in previous positive comments. I have nothing to add, only words of praise.
I ordered BDR-S12XLT drive. Package was sent quickly and it was very well secured. Excellent service and support.
Thank you.

Great service. The Pioneer drive was a revelation after my flaky and noisy Asus bluray drive. It works really well with Manjaro Linux: both for makeMKV and for direct play using VLC (after placing KEYDB.cfg in config directory and initialising using makeMKV). Lots of helpful information also supplied for use on other operating systems.

Browsing this thread I am unsure what else I can add to the many - well deserved - positive comments! I might as well assume I'll duplicate much but will nonetheless tell you my story :D

I had a set of requirements (bluray + 4K, external, quiet, modern, read-write) with the target systems being Debian Linux and Windows10.

I reached out to Asmcom with those requirements mid-week - actually quite late at night, with me just "getting around to things" before bedtime. Thinking no more of it, I retired to rest my weary head.

Imagine my surprise next morning, when I saw that a reply was waiting in my Inbox - from last night! All thoughts of breakfast (temporarily) banished, I perused specs and costings, aided by the helpful PDF attachments (several manufacturer drive specs and an overview guide).

I was very impressed by these thoughtful additions given that I've had my share of poor communications with vendors of enterprise-level equipment.

A decision made, I checked with the Procurement Director - my wife :D

Procurement authorisation was granted (well, what she actually said was "Will this finally let you re-rip all those disks that don't work properly on Kodi?") and I replied to Asmcom with all relevant details.

I had decided on a Pioneer BDR-S12UHT, LibreDrive flashed, contained within a Vantec DX2 enclosure.

Now, my reply and payment happened quite late in the working day on a Wednesday, and with us living off the British mainland, I figured the drive would arrive next week.

Well, there was a double surprise in store: not only did Asmcom very kindly upgrade my delivery to Special Delivery Next Day - along with yet another info email and photos of the parcel shipping label - but the parcel arrived with the morning post that Friday.

The packing was exemplary and I lost no time placing my new device alongside my towering cases of computer power. Recognition and use in Windows and Debian Linux was fine and working - what more can one want - and I have already re-ripped several problematic disks. Testing of write performance is pending because I forgot to actually buy some writeable disks!

I will add again, that the screenshots and guidance information in Asmcom's email were most helpful and I think this is a detail of the service that really elevates it. The Pioneer BDR-S12UHT is a wonderful drive and just in case anyone else is thinking of the Vantec DX2 enclosure, I'd recommend that too. The enclosure has a rear-mounted power-switch which is getting rarer these days - you get what you pay for.

Finishing off, I am clearly echoing all other satisfied buyers when I say that I heartily endorse this vendor and will be buying from them again. Happy Sunday!

Hi . Does the 30% discount valid after I buy the drive and test the software free trial first or or is it only available with the purchase of the drive at the same time ?

Also what is postage to UK ? (Scottish borders Not highlands)
