Hi, I've got an external Asus drive that is actually a Pionner drive. It reads BD, but not UHD with MakeMKV 1.17.5 ('no disc inserted'), so... I'm doing something wrong or it is not a UHD drive. Any ideas?

I grabbed a Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD from Adorama per the previous two posts. Crossing my fingers for a 3/3 success rate since it was the last one in stock!
I bought a Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD from Amazon a few days ago. Got here today and it had the 1.02 firmware on it which worked out of the box with libredrive/makemkv.
The vendor that sold it to me on amazon was Adorama.
Very nice drive, and worked 100 percent out of the box with 0 issues. I don't know if all of them will have the 1.02 firmware, but mine did so figured I'd share this here.

Thank you, good sir! I followed your lead, and I got my BD-RW BDR-XS07U with Firmware 1.02 (via Amazon c/o Adorama) in the mail today. Seeing LibreDrive enabled out of the box brought a tear to me eye - LOL! Love it. Have a great day!
I ordered one of the last BDR-XS07UHD drives from Adorama, hopefully it comes on 1.02. Should be arriving in the next few days... Would be nice to have another drive other than my BU40N and my BP50NB40...
I have a new Pioneer drive (BDR-XD08 on platform RS9330) that I'm wondering if it would be possible to add to the SDF bin (according to mike admin's post, I think it's eligible?).

Just as a side note, This thing blows the bu40n and bp50nb40 out of the water on reading finicky discs, been trying to read a dvd on multiple drives and it always got stuck at the same point. The Pioneer just blew through it like it was nothing. I hope that the firmware issue gets sorted eventually cause I want to get a second one asap.
That's not a UHD drive
Not sure if it can be converted it might be able to convert It if its a rebranded ud03
I've just opened the case and yes, it's a Pioneer BDR-UD03ASW. Is there any chance to make it UHDfriendly? I've flashed a LG drive yesterday and now I can rip UHD but I would know for sure if I can convert this Pioneer too so I've a backup unit.
