Best UHD drive to buy 2026

[sedzik]

Hi all,

Being lazy here. I could search through the forum.

I have an old Pioneer DBR-205 which I am very happy with but it cannot do UHD.

What would be the best upgrade (as in internal drive)?
I want to backup stuff om M-Discs as storage is so expensive nowadays.

Cheers

Maybe I am answering my own question here.
Seems like the Pioneer BDR-S13U-X is a great drive.

I suppose it would be BORING to look at the "Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2026" topic, which starts out with an updated list of what's available in UHD drives, when you can ask others to rehash it for you...

Thanks, as always with me I ask questions without looking into stuff myself.
Noticed this right after I had created the post
