Hello Guys,
An acquaintance will grab around 10 of these Pioneer drives. I will have the opportunity getting one for "free". Condition unknown.
From the various MakeMkv reports posted here, it looks like these drives are LibreDrive enabled with the original firmware.
Could one of you tell me what are the main features of these drives ? And what will be gained by flashing them ?
Many thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge !
P.S. : I plan to install it into an old Lenovo laptop. It will replace the DVD burner installed by Lenovo....

While many Pioneer drives / firmware are supported as LibreDrive, not all of them support UHD. "Modern" models (i.e. those have full BDXL support) can often be crossflashed with firmware from "sibling" models to gain the UHD support. There are also a few firmware that are not supported / recognized as LibreDrive, in which case you may want to crossflash it to make it a LibreDrive as well, or else you'll have to wait until mike add the support (which may or may not happen).

Post your MakeMKV drive info. There're also BDR-UD03 drives out there with another platform which are not flashable (no BD writing, only BD reading and CD/DVD writing = combo drives).

Hmm first time I heard of this, although I'm aware of ASUS SBC-06D2X-U, which makes it less surprising I guess. Do you know if they come in specfic model suffix? (Like ones different from ASW or FAL?) And what is/are the platform (RS) number(s)?
