I'm interested in picking up this ASUS unit but I wanted to know where are you you guys buying this drive from? I see Amazon has it in stock I just want to purchase from somewhere that is most likely going to have one with a pioneer drive inside?

I actually bought this drive for mdisc capability, but would like to be able to rip 4k UHD to plex. Can I get what the others have to make this thing work?
