Hi Makar,
I was referred to you by the archiving community as a gold-standard seller for pre-flashed LibreDrive hardware. I am looking to purchase a pre-flashed Pioneer slim/portable drive (or a Verbatim slim unit utilizing a premium Pioneer laser assembly).
My Setup & Requirements:
- OS: Windows 11
- Target Workflow: Perfect audio extraction using Exact Audio Copy (EAC), 1:1 movie archiving via MakeMKV, and quiet direct disc playback.
- Form Factor: I specifically require a slim, bus-powered portable drive that runs entirely off a single USB connection (no external wall outlet power brick needed).
- Firmware: The drive needs to be pre-flashed and LibreDrive-enabled out of the box so I can natively process standard DVDs, music CDs, and modern 4K UHD Blu-rays.
Please let me know your current availability, pricing, and total cost shipped to [Insert Your Zip Code]. Once confirmed, please send over a PayPal Goods & Services invoice to my email: [Insert Your Email Address].
Thank you for your time and expertise!
Thank you for contacting me. It sounds like the Pioneer BDR-XD08B that I currently have for sale would be the best fit for your needs as this drive has been flashed to enable PureRead 4+. All of my drives have been flashed to enable LibreDrive as well as 4K UHD support. If you can send an email to the address in my signature, we can discuss this further to ensure you get the best drive for your needs.
Thank you for your interest,
Makar
