@Billycar11
What is your current recommendation for slim, internal UHD Blu Ray drives? Is it still the BU40N?

TIA

Malcolm

I do not recommend LG drives at all
I guess I would recommend a ud03/4

Billycar--

Do you have a waitlist/interest list for the new drives you have? I too am interested in one.

Thanks

[psbnmike2025]

I would also like to be added to a waitlist, if that's possible. Thanks!

[PsychDetective]

I feel like there's so much interest in these drives that they're gonna go like hot cakes.

[SteeleWake]

Count me in for one also please!

[Sodas]

There is no wait-list, he's mentioned this a few times to just follow his post here and/or Reddit.

[absolutelydisgusting]

posting to indicate interest
especially considering current models are marked as out of stock lol
I'm getting tired of my janky setup involving a bt30n and a rats nest of cables
doesn't even work on UHD

Honestly, I bought an LG BP60NB10 for $130 new and flashed it while I wait for Billy's Pioneers. I've been able to rip 98% of all discs, mostly UHDs, including ones I pick up used that aren't in pristine condition. I'm sure the Pioneer will last longer and cover that 2% but I do think it's worth considering the BP60N if people need something in the meantime.

I'm also interested in a Pioneer Drive. I recently bought a slim LG drive and I've already experienced a string of hash errors. I now understand why the reliability of Pioneer is so important!

For many years, my only drives were both LG. They have always ripped 100%. Sometimes the slim drive had challenges, but the desktop drive (in OWC case) always worked. Sometimes a disc would need to be cleaned (even though it looked spotless & was new), but in the end I was able to rip it.

Some of these discs were even purchased new, fresh out of the box. And generally, we always watched a ripped movie shortly after ripping it, so we know the rips were good.

That being said, with the Pioneer drives I now have, I have never had any issue with any disc (but my Pioneers haven't been in use as long...)

Thanks,
Frank

I am also interested in a Pioneer drive!
