My turn... kudos to @Billycar11 for providing a remote flashing service. Just flashed my Pioneer BDR-209EBK; it could not have been easier and made it UHD compatible. Thanks!!

I have been ripping with makemkv for 2 years now. I only just recently realized that many of my problems are probably because i'm just using cheap external slim drives. Current one is verbatim that I just purchased thinking I was solving my problems except it's worse especially with BD movies.

Anyway, if I purchase the following items, can they be flashed remotely and be a solid solution?

EDIT

Okay, finding out these two aren't gonna get it done if I ever want UHD ripping. I only have 1 UHD disk, so I'm going to settle on these two items. Maybe flashing will work down the road if I do end up ripping UHD.

Yeah, so I just learned! :D

I tried to add an image, but I don't see where it is. I tried to post a pick of the 212V you're talking about.

How do I connect with you to purchase the 212V?

Signed up to wait for a flashed drive. Just starting with my backup of movies. Only have some blurays. May just use the old tower I had to rip the regular movies I have as it worked for the first few while I wait for a BD drive.

Billy - do you know what models you have coming in? I am weighing different purchasing options but not looking to break the bank with the fancier looking ones.

new models will only be xd08 in black gold and silver
but mostly black

sadly these will be very expensive compared to what we had i had to pay much higher prices for these compared to what i was able to get the other drives for and all retailers know now pioneer is out of the business so they are raising prices i have seen drives i sold for 200ish just a few months ago now selling for in the thousands its kinda crazy.
mine will be significantly cheaper than the Chinese sellers scalped ones

Can you say approximately how much these drives will cost?
Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?
