Hi Asmcom, will the Pioneer Premium BDR-XD08EMB-S work out of the box, without flashing? I sent an email but unsure if it made it to you all bc I found it on an older thread. Do you take anything other than PayPal?
Yes, it works out of the box. Please email us at

Hi asmcom,

I'm in the UK and am in the markt for a UHD compatible drive for use on either my M1 Mac or my Ubuntu Linux box. What's the fastest, most-reliable, and most consistently error-free with rips you currently sell for this?

Many thanks,
Phil

Asmcom: Premium BDR-XS07TUHD on Special Offer !!!

Post by asmcom »

https://shop.uhdfriendlydrives.co.uk/


Note: Special Offer for MakeMKV Forum Members!!! Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD. You must use the weblinks below, or you will not get the offer.

The Premium BDR-XS07TUHD Slot Drive and the Pioneer BDR-S13E-X are both standout models in my personal collection of LibreDrive-friendly 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray drives. These are my favourites, and they’ve consistently delivered the best reliability and performance. Asmcom :mrgreen:

Important

📀 Important Usage Recommendation: To preserve the lifespan of your Blu-ray drive, we do not recommend using it for direct playback of movie discs. Continuous playback can lead to premature laser wear. Our drives are ripping-optimised, not for use as regular movie players.

✅ Instead, use trusted third-party software like MakeMKV to convert your 4K discs into a digital file or ISO container, which is a more reliable and drive-friendly solution for playback on your device. Once ripped, your content can be viewed repeatedly without further stressing the drive.

Let’s be smart about it:

Don’t use your drive for playback. The laser will wear out.

These drives are built for ripping, not repeated movie watching.

Use MakeMKV to create a digital copy. Then play it all you want, guilt-free and drive-friendly.

In short: Use your drive like it’s a tool, not a television.

Hello CJT80,

Thank you for your kind comments about our website; we’re really pleased to hear that you like it! We’re happy with how it’s shaping up and have plans to expand it further by adding new categories such as accessories, hard drives, and enclosures.

We’ll be taking a short break soon and plan to close for a two-week holiday. During that time, we’re hoping to work behind the scenes to make more improvements while the site is offline.

Kind regards,

Clare

I've bought two drives from Asmcom and had a great experience both times. Most recently I purchased a BDR-S13E-X in a Vantec NexStar DX2 as an upgrade to my previous Verbatim slimline drive. 100% worth the upgrade and purchase. The drive is quiet even in heavy operation and I feel confident that it will continue to serve me well. Asmcom was able to ship the drive ahead of their initial estimate which was hugely appreciated. I got an email with guidance on how to set-up the drive and how to receive support if I need it going forwards. It's a shame Pioneer is no longer manufacturing, but I'm glad I was able to get one of their best drives.

I'd recommend Asmcom to anyone wanting a drive for MakeMKV. The prices reflect the current market and I feel I still got value for money and then some with the included cables and set-up help.

Thank you :D

Asmcom deserves a lot of praise. I ordered a drive from them on Saturday. I live in the central US, and the drive arrived today, perfectly packaged and even containing a little treat. Immediately after the order, I received a personalized email with detailed instructions. This is hands down the best customer service I've ever experienced, anywhere.

To anyone looking to purchase a drive, I can't recommend them enough; it's absolutely brilliant in every way.

So, to Asmcom, thank you!

P.S. Thanks for the snack, they're my favorite!

Hi LV4K26,

Thank you for the great review; it really means a lot to the team at UHD Friendly Drives!

We're glad to hear your BDR-S13E-X in the DX2 enclosure is performing well and that you noticed the difference from the slimline drive. That model is definitely a solid upgrade, being quiet, reliable, and one of the best Pioneers ever made. Like you, we’re sad to see Pioneer step back from manufacturing these, but we're happy we could help you get your hands on one before they disappeared.

Also, thanks for mentioning the early shipping and setup guide; we always try to go the extra mile to ensure smooth operation from start to finish.

We really appreciate your support (and repeat custom!). Don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.

All the best,
UHD Friendly Drives Team
