This is a little off topic, but I have the LG BU40N and the Pioneer BDR-212V. which one is the best bet.

@Coopervid
I've been following the forum about reliable UHD capable drives. I have the ASUS BW-16D1HT and LG BP60, which I flashed and are curently working well. However, I've been reading about the reliability issues with those drives, so, I just bought the BDR-212V from Amazon, and it came with pre Dec 2022 firmware:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-212V
Revision: 1.02
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2022-05-31
Bus encryption flags: 13
Highest AACS version: 76
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8F00
Firmware version: ID06
I was hoping that you could send instructions on flashing for compatibility with MakeMKV. I would appreciate it!

What are the chances the BDR-213 from amazon would come with older firmware?
