Looking for a Pioneer 4K drive

[Old-Durian4958]

I am embarking on a media-ripping journey and am in need of an external Pioneer disk drive that can rip 4k blu-ray disks, OR one that is capable of being flashed with said functionality. I got a NAS and HDDs already picked out, just need a ripping drive.

I, like many others, am really kicking myself for not embarking on this journey before Pioneer stopped making optical drives because I would LOVE to get my hands on one of the BDR-X13/S13 models.
Beggars can't be choosers so I'll settle for any external Pioneer drive at this point that can handle 4k disks.

Is there anyone here that has any for sale, or can point me in the right direction?

Another question, has there been any recent news/statements regarding Shanxi Lightchain Technology making drives? (I wonder if it's better to wait?)

Thanks in advance!

At least a couple of threads right here in this sub-forum, of people selling units w/Pioneer drives, in stock. Did you contact any of them?

I should have a slim-line unit w/Pioneer drive arriving early next week. If you are interested, send an e-mail to the address in my signature & mention your forum ID.

Thanks,
Frank
