Good afternoon! I found a Pioneer version of the Verbatim 43890 at Staples today (unbelievably lucky, and unfortunately the only drive there) and would like to flash it for UHD.

It seems currently Office depot usa is a good source for pioneer/verbatim ud-03 with pre 2023 terror firmware
Also offering a 25% sign up code.

I also got one from there on friday. I wanted to buy more but decided to just get one at first and then saturday morning. they were all sold out. someone mentioned staples stores being a place to look. I have gone to 3 local stores and have scored 3 Verbatim 43890 drives. all with pioneer drives. if possible i recommend going into the stores to check. Online will only say to go to the store and check.
