Just bought a drive from heisenberg via the mail in the first post.
Worked flawlessly and fast.
Drive was as described.

I ordered one of the drives from heisenberg. They were flexible on payment methods and sent the drive the same day they received the it (the payment). The drive itself works as advertised. Throughout the order process I was supplied many pictures of the drive and virtual info of it.

Hi, just want to share that I have successfully ripped 9 UHD disks after buying a "Verbatim 43888 with Pioneer UD04" from heisenberg. I had the drive in my hands after 4 business days

I am new to UHD ripping, heisenberg kindly gave me some friendly help to get going, after I experienced that the very first disk I wanted to rip was not in the current keydb.cfg !
"The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted"

heisenberg gave me a 4 step process to investigate. It turned out that my specific disk was really not in the official database. That was easily solved
- I e-mailed svq@makemkv.com with the archive that MakeMkv created in ~/Library/MakeMkv (I'm on a Mac) which describes what was missing
- then I polled this site https://fvonline-db.bplaced.net - several times a day - and downloaded an updated keydb.cfg and put it in ~/Library/MakeMkv. The files are updated several times a day!

After 2 days there was a key added for my specific disc, and boom, I could rip that disc too.

MakeMkv is supposed to sync with the latest file upon start, but my experience was it happens one time in 20 or less. I believe the connection for the automatic sync is about as slow as to the forum, and times out (silently) and no update happens. In other words, it's best do download manually if your disc is not in the file.

Part of the packaging was German candies, highly addictive, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I first contacted heisenberg by email in the middle of the night and received an immediate reply confirming his stock on hand and suggestion based on the initial information I had sent him. Over the next few minutes we swapped a few emails back and forth and I paid him via PayPal. Within another couple minutes he'd created the shipping label and sent me the tracking number.

I ordered by V 43888 w/ Pioneer UD04 on May 10 and it I had it in Miami about 10 days later. No issues with customs. Ripped perfectly right out of the box.

I couldn't recommend heisenberg any higher.
