I ordered the Pioneer BDR-S13UBK from Billy back in April. I put it in a Vantec NexStar DX2 USB 3.0 External Enclosure and have used it to successfully read/play CDs, DVDs, Blurays and 4k Ultra HD discs. Unlike my cheaper drives, this one works without fail; even playing discs my other drives refused to read.
The purchase process was straight-forward, and clear instructions were provided. I received timely updates from Billy throughout the process. The drive arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition. While I'm super pleased with the quality of the product and service, I'm even more impressed with Billy's willingness to answer questions & deliver what is advertised!

I ordered the BDR-S13UBK in April for a couple of newer 4k Blu-ray titles my other drives had trouble reading. It read them all with no issues. Ordering and installation was straightforward, really easy to get everything setup and working. Highly recommend!

Made an account to say thanks to Billy, I've been able to rip a few problematic discs from the Pioneer drive (S13UBK) that my LG and Asus failed to do. Highly recommended!

I ordered a BDR-213/2213 from Billy and have been very impressed with its performance so far. But more impressive than the drive, was Billy's customer service. He hadn't heard from me after he shipped it (I got distracted by life!) and wanted to make sure it was working. Which it was - quite well!

I'd highly recommend Billy and his work to anyone interested!

Just wanted to update that my BDR-S13UBK is still going strong. I ordered back in April and put it inside of a Vantec NST-536S3-BK enclosure. So far I have put almost 70 4k discs through it with ZERO issues. Wish I had just ordered this drive when I first started getting into ripping. Many thanks to Billy!

I ordered from Billy in April and have had the chance to test out the Pioneer BDR-S13UBK. It's such a workhorse - especially compared to my LG BU40N. It's nice to have the peace of mind having something reliable where you can set it to rip a disc and not have to worry about coming back to errors. Billy was incredibly helpful, the shipping was quick and securely packaged, having a discount for MakeMKV was awesome, and the drive was super easy to set-up - I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Billy!

I recently bought a BDR-S13UBK from Billy. Great communication and he shipped it out quickly. (Payment to arrival was 6 days). Installed it in my machine as a second optical drive and was up and ripping with Kubuntu 22.04 LTS in a matter of minutes. It was plug-and-play as my BIOS, OS and MakeMKV immediately recognized the drive with no issues. I have ripped some DVDs, Blu-rays and 4Ks with it and no issues at all. I would buy from him again.

My other optical drive installed is an LG WH14NS40 that I bought in 2019 and flashed myself to rip 4K movies. No comparison that the Pioneer's are much better build quality. I first noticed it just by opening the tray. The Pioneer is dead silent when reading / seeking as the LG can sometimes sound like it is coming apart when seeking. The Pioneer also opens the disc in MakeMKV 2-3x faster than the LG. I'll be using my LG for Blu-rays and DVDs until it gives out and leave the Pioneer for 4K duty only and/or Blu-rays that the LG doesn't want to rip.

This is a customer review for BillyCar11
I recently purchased a couple of drives from him my first one was quite easy as I'd already followed the video on setting up the proper programs to make the UHD 4K Blu-ray disc work on my gaming computer with an AMD processor which I was concerned about going into it because I heard that Intel was the main CPU that was used for these discs years ago.
I ordered on Friday and it got here across the United States within three days and over the weekends the drive ended up on my doorstep Monday morning 11:00 AM. It was very fast shipping considering our distance when I opened up the drive and plugged it in it worked like a charm.
Drive 2, the most expensive one out of his post, came in. When I plugged it into my other computer that had an Intel Skylake 6700 K I started to have a few issues mainly because I didn't have the programs and everything set up like I did on my other computer I quickly found out nothing was wrong with the drive as I did the process of elimination and swapping out with an existing one that he shipped before sorry new it was the software side of my computer he helped me out after a few feedback messages. I was able to get the 4K UHD discs running I did run into one last issue with buffering the movie would stop and stutter a bit but after digging around for two hours I found out the settings in the VLC player with the cash that did the trick I'm on happy customer I would 100% recommend to anyone to his business as I will be buying more from him if needed for my collection of computers.

I'm a customer of Billy's and purchased a BDR-S13UBK. It was shipped within a drive of sending payment and was quickly received. Popped it in my plex machine too replace an ASUS drive that was having trouble reading some 4k discs. Tested the UBK after the swap and it works perfectly.

I ordered the Pioneer BDR-S13U-X through Billy. After having the drive for about a day or so, I absolutely love it. Drive is super quiet and haven't noticed any errors with MakeMKV as of yet. I have used done DVD's and Bluray's so far. No complaints so far. Shipping was a little longer than expected (due to me ordering on a weekend). Billy's service from ordering to shipping was great. Would gladly use his service again.

I just received my Pioneer BDR-213 (pre-flashed) from Billy. I also purchased the recommended Vantec enclosure separately. I had it set up in 15 minutes. Ripped my first UHD disc with no issues. Seems to work great.

Doing business with Billy was excellent - he was responsive, professional, great communication, made things super easy. I received my drive 4 days after placing order - drive came in original packaging like-new. What a great service! Thank you Billy!

(I was pretty confused with all the conflicting info about compatible drives, remote flashing, DIY flashing, etc, so if you're confused, just email Billy what you're looking for, and he'll tell you what the options are that he offers.

I am interested in purchasing a Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD if you have any available.
I prefer slot load and external drive. My setup is fine with USB -C only connections

If you can accommodate that let me know.
I am in on the east coast of the US so if you can fulfill this request respond and let me know what the cost is we can work from there.
Thanks

Not only is Billy extremely friendly and quick to respond, but he works miracle too. He was able to get my ancient XD05 reading UHD discs, plus it reads almost twice as fast as it did before flashing. I've ripped around 15 discs since with about half of them being UHD and I've had zero issues. He kept me from needing to buy a new drive which was well worth the $25 ($15 if you consider the discount on MakeMKV).
