I just created an account here to leave larhaus the credit he deserves.
The drive arrived quickly and very professionally packed/packaged. I received regular shipping updates and follow-up emails to ensure that everything arrived as expected.
I had several questions before buying and he was patient, prompt, and very helpful the whole time, especially given the family emergency.
The drive worked immediately upon plugging it in and I've ripped around 10 Blu-rays without any issue whatsoever, reaching expected speeds on each rip.
This is great way to repurpose drives that were likely otherwise bound for a trash heap in the ocean.
If you're on the fence, I hope you decide to reach out and give larhaus and his drives a chance. I'd do it again without a second thought.
