I do not and will not sell desktop LG or ASUS drives 25% of them like the Asus BW-16D1HT or LG WH16NS60 are defective and will get read errors on UHD discs

No worries. I’m new to the forum and just trying to find the best drive possible. Good to know I can rule this option out as a possibility.

What drive would you recommend? Pioneer drives that I’ve found are way too expensive.

Have you considered that Pioneer drives are expensive because they're "the best drive possible"? They're also not being made anymore, which is another reason, so supply is limited. Simple economics...

You can find a list of drives used for MakeMKV in the Ultimate UHD Flashing Guide that Billycar11 wrote many years ago and updates periodically...

I'm interested in buying either a Pioneer BDR-S13UBK or a BDR-2213 if the previous isn't available. I sent an email a little over a week ago but haven't heard back (from a different email than this account I just made). Anyways, What do I need to do to buy one from you? Please let me know what other info is needed. Thanks!

I’m very aware. There’s no controversy here.

So your plan is to what... find a new LG drive for say $200 and then when it dies in 2-3 months, and it will, buy another one? Instead of buying twice, I would highly suggest just purchasing (1) Pioneer drive, either new from me (you knew that was coming) or used from the guy you're being a dick to, Larry. He sells loose drives (including Pioneer) that have been flashed and tested for cheap. I purchased a drive from him a few months ago and he shipped fast, the drive was exactly as described and he was very professional.

Great experience buying from Larry and will probably do so again in the future after multiple purchases already. Very thoughtful about his offering, research, and more than a fair price. All around great guy.

Who's Larry?

Are there folks still selling drives to the US?

I'm looking to buy at least 4 more. These things die quick and some of mine don't reliably do UHD BD. My ASUS one stopped being able to do it recently leaving me with 2 working UHD drives :(. All my slim LG ones died too. I'm really wanting to get some replacements that'll last longer.

Larry is larhaus.

LG drives are disposible drives. They are not made to last. Pioneers are. Plastic internal parts on an LG vs metal internals on a Pioneer. But if you want to keep chasing that LG dream, go ahead, or just buy a pioneer and have it outlive any of your lgs, 20x over. Pricing is high for obvious reasons, but its cheaper and pays for itself in the first year. lol. good luck.

Does Billycar11 still sell flashed drives for ripping UHD? I'd like to buy one, but I don't know how else to get in contact with him besides posting here.

His e-mail address is in the signature of every one of BillyCar11's posts...

I don't believe he has any inventory currently - look at the first post of this thread (always a good idea to start with the FIRST post of any thread.

I already sent him an email and he hasn't responded, and the first post hasn't been updated for 5 months, which is why I was inquiring about his inventory. Thanks though...

He hasn't had inventory or mentioned on-hand inventory in several months. Generally, I see him post here almost daily.

In one of his "recent" posts (last week?), he mentions a "wait list" and to send him an e-mail. You'll have to do some reading.
