Re: (Asmcom:) Pioneer UHD 4K Drives, Cheap Shipping, Worldwide Service, Excellent Service!!!
I just wanted to leave a thank you to Asmcom and team. I ordered my drive (Pioneer BDR-XD08TB External Top Loader) on March 18th and it arrived this morning, March 24th to the western United States. Drive worked instantly with the makemkv software. I already ripped my first 4k Blue-ray with the Pioneer drive using makemkv on my Arch Linux system. No issues, it all just worked.
Excellent communication from your team during the ordering processes.

Hi !
I'm completely new to bluray stuff and I'm interested in learning more and buying my first BD drive from you
I tried sending an e-mail while you were closed where i detailed the questions i have so I'm gonna reuse that here

Hi,
I am interested in buying one of your drives (I am thinking the BDR UD04CC but open to other options), although I'm completely new to this so I have some questions.
If I understand well this has the right firmware out of the box, and supports ripping in MakeMKV and playback direct from the disk in VLC using some key file thing I can easily find online. Is that correct ?
Also, would other playback software like MPC work too ? Do menus work at all with ripping/playback direct from the disc?
Lastly, how come is this drive is so much cheaper than the other Pioneer drives ? What am I losing compared to the options in the 130-170 pounds range ?"
Thank you for your awesome work !

Hi asmcom,rfctabs wrote: ↑Mon Mar 24, 2025 10:48 amHi,
I was hoping to order the Pioneer BDR-S13E-X but it is out of stock. Can you tell me if you will be getting more?
If there are none on the way, can you suggest an alternative? I have always liked a full external drive, but I guess that isn't really necessary. In fact, I'd perhaps be more interested in a quiet drive that rips 4k or standard Blu-Ray as quickly as possible. I'm just building a NAS and I have a lot of discs to back up.![]()
Thanks in advance,
Peter
Do you have any information or advice for me? I'd love to place an order today if I can.
Thanks,
Peter

Sent you a PM. Please not Billycarr is on this forum and is a top professional seller who can supply in the US.pianolist wrote: ↑Tue Mar 25, 2025 2:04 amNew to ripping. I have a MacBook Pro with the M4 chip that I’ll be using. An external drive would be needed of course. I would like to rip my 4K, Blu-ray and the hundreds of 3D movies to a more stable digital format. Also would be nice if I could just watch a movie on the Macs display.
I saw you had nothing for sale on eBay and am hoping you might be getting more? I live in the state of Washington , US.
Thanks!

Hi Asmcom,
You should edit the first post of this thread and just put in the link of your new web shop.

This one is way cheaper than the one pio suggested. Is there a difference?
Is the premature wear related to the vertical mounting, a problem on this or other drives or just the wear all drives experience?

We will launch our website within the next seven days. We want to clarify what is happening regarding Pioneer optical drives and the way forward regarding the warranty.
Clarification on Pioneer Blu-ray Optical Drives & Warranty:
As you may know, Pioneer has unfortunately ceased global manufacturing and support for optical drives. UHD Friendly Drives are no longer able to offer direct manufacturer support for Pioneer Blu-ray drives. While this change impacts the traditional warranty support we've been able to provide, we want to reassure you that our commitment to supporting you remains unwavering. Here's how we are continuing to assist:
- 12-Month Customer Support: For any Pioneer Blu-ray optical drives purchased from us, we will continue to offer 12 months of customer support. This includes troubleshooting assistance, setup guidance, and technical help for any issues that may arise during this period. We're here for you!
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: If you're not completely satisfied with your Pioneer Blu-ray Writer Drive for any reason, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can return the product within 30 days of receipt for a full refund, as long as the product is in its original condition with all packaging and accessories included. While Pioneer's direct warranty support is no longer available, we remain confident in the reliability of these drives, which have earned their reputation as top-tier products.
Thank you for being so understanding and for continuing to trust in us. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to support you every step of the way!
Kind Regards
The UHD Friendly Drive Team

Hi ascom, I wanted to thank your entire team. I ordered the Pioneer's Flagship Premium BDR-S13E-X on March 18th, it arrived yesterday, I installed it on my HTPC, set up makemkv correctly and everything worked perfectly in UHD playback. Thanks again for your service and help with the payment.

Hi, it seems you have removed Norway from the list of countries you ship to. Why is that?
Re: (Asmcom:) Pioneer UHD 4K Drives, Cheap Shipping, Worldwide Service, Excellent Service!!!
We can do it manually. Norwegian shipping is very difficult. We can make it work for you. To proceed, send us an email and tell us what you would like from our website. Then we will send you a quotation and get you sorted out with a Libre-Drive Friendly Blu-ray Writer.TrappedSpring wrote: ↑Wed Mar 26, 2025 10:51 amHi, it seems you have removed Norway from the list of countries you ship to.
