I'm interested in the ASUS BW-16D1HT, I think my hacked UHD drive is dying...

I'm in Alberta, so please let me know the price so I can make a decision...
All my prices are in the very first post.

A couple of questions...

1. just wondering if any these modded drives will still allow me to simply play/read dvd, bluray and 4k discs or are they just dedicated to ripping?
2. Are any of these drives able to play/rip region-locked discs, specifically Region B Bluray??

Sorry if these are dumb questions. im interested in getting one of these drive and wanted to confirm before i do.
Thanks!

I just want add my name to the list of happy buyers from Bluntman. I bought an ASUS BW-16D1HT from him last month and it safely made the journey clear across Canada from the west coast to the east coast and it works like a charm!

Glad to be of service. Always happy to expand my fellow Canadian's ability to backup their purchased media! A few Option 5 remain!

I just want to echo the above comments describing the quick responses from Bluntman and the quality of the drives. He was patient with me as I worked through some issues with getting payment through. He also was willing to arrange local pickup with a family member that was going to be visiting me a few days later. If you are looking for a drive in Canada, I would highly recommend reaching out while he still has drives.

Once the drive was in my hands it flawlessly copied a uhd HDR movie with zero issues.

I have a Verbatim (PIONEER) BDR-UD03 and am looking to flash, it's on firmware 1.14.

I have posted in another thread, and also just made a standalone post (hasn't yet been approved) but if they aren't responded to, I just need the patched firmware (I can install it myself). I am also in Canada (GTA), if you want context why I posted here. I can comment back here if I hear nothing on the other requests I made, if you can help.

Thanks :)

I was going to PM this question but it appears my account is to new, have you tested any of these drives with audio discs and can comment on performance?

All optical drives work with CD/DVD discs. I've never seen or heard of any model that doesn't. The most expensive Pioneer BDR-S13 models are the best at CD ripping but pretty much any drive will still do a good job.
Cheers :D

Yeah I've always assumed that but I've gotten conflicting opinions on that but as was answered in a thread I posted here anything with a red laser should work just figured I ask just in case he had.
