Is this drive authentic? Pioneer BDR-S12XJ

Post by QuestionAsker »

I bought it off ebay from a seller who mostly sells random stuff, seems like a normal legit person in the US selling garage sale stuff.

Good feedback. Not strictly electronics, in fact doesn't sell much of them.

Just wondering if this is a authentic Pioneer BDR-S12XJ drive.

I could install it in my computer and open in in MakeMKV or any other program to check, if anyone here has a way to check.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nope it's fake
Real s12jx looks like this

They were not making the s12jx in 2023 only the s13jx

But it may still have old pioneer internal in it

Thank you @Billycarr11 ,

I sent you an email, I was finally able to hook up the drive.

Curious on your thoughts if the internals are legit, or how fake it is.

Thank you for your help.
