Can I get a recommendation for Ireland, please?
5,25 or slim external? Check with asmcom if you want a ready-to-work drive.
Preferably external drive and ideally in EU. Since Brexit there is extra tax for shipping from UK (where I believe asmcom ships from :) to Ireland. Thanks a lot!

You need to have access to a Windows PC to make it work.
You mean for the flashing? That can be arranged.

Buy a Verbatim 43888 if available in Ireland. The only drawback is that it is power hungry and doesn't work on all USB3 ports. Otherwise get one from Asmcom. He is located in Northern Ireland and so no duty applies to shipments to you or in the whole EU.

Awesome work here.

I need two recommendations for Germany/Europe:

1) external slimline BluRay burner USB-C (ideally supporting the burning of M-Discs)
2) 5,25 internal BluRay burner SATA

Thx a lot.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a drive. Unfortunately, the WH14NS40 and WH16NS40 models are currently unavailable in my region (EU/Germany). Can anyone suggest an alternative?

Thanks in advance!

My Pioneer drive arrived from Amazon last night. I’ll be installing it my PC later today.

Just installed and flashed the new Pioneer drive and I’m up and running again after my old ASUS drive had failed.

@Coopervid - thank you again.

Like many others I am looking for a reliable UHD drive for use with LibreDrive. Australia-based; happy to order from most places.

Looking for a reliable UHD drive (5.25" windows) for use with LibreDrive to backup my Bluray Ultra HDs. Situated in Canada - can order from most places. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
