The paranoid part of me thought that it would be a slog to get it working but to my surprise the stock firmware was already enabled for everything I needed. It was very nicely packaged and even had a small gift inside and arrived 5 days earlier than the estimate. Now if only something could be done about the tariff I had to pay on it

Great drive and great service! Well done! Glad I caught the sale.

Hello,

I'm interested in a UHD-friendly drive — ideally the Pioneer BDR-XS07TS in black. I’d like one that supports both vertical and horizontal use and has the slot-in mechanism. This drive seems to be a good one according to this forum.

Is it possible to order one of these somehow?
I’ve been to the website, this forum, EBay, also contacted via email, however every time the website is under construction or offline. No drives listed.

I already have a MakeMKV license, so I was wondering if any discount is offers for registered users?

Thank you very much

This is strange, our website is active? Can you confirm which website you are trying?

The BDR-XS07TS does not come in Black, but the BDR-XS07TUHD does. All our offers are listed on the first page. Have you viewed this yet?

ImportantImportant Usage Recommendation: To preserve the lifespan of your Blu-ray drive, we do not recommend using it for direct playback of movie discs. Continuous playback can lead to premature laser wear. Our drives are ripping-optimised, not for use as regular movie players.

Instead, use trusted third-party software like MakeMKV to convert your 4K discs into a digital file or ISO container, which is a more reliable and drive-friendly solution for playback on your device. Once ripped, your content can be viewed repeatedly without further stressing the drive.

Let’s be smart about it:

Don’t use your drive for playback. The laser will wear out.

These drives are built for ripping, not repeated movie watching.

Use MakeMKV to create a digital copy. Then play it all you want, guilt-free and drive-friendly.

In short: Use your drive like it’s a tool, not a television.

Thank you, thundernathan14. Your order is ready to go and will be collected tomorrow morning. The extras you requested are in.

Just found this forum about the drives and immediately ordered a Pioneer BDRXS07TUHD this morning.

Can’t wait to receive it and back up my discs.

I did order the Pioneer BDR-XD07TS on Monday and it arrived today (in western Europe) and is working flawlessly.
I had a very nice experience, super friendly and quick to get a recommendation based on my needs. My country was missing from the country list in their shop and they did add it in minutes.
I am more then happy and can only highly recommend the Asmcom UHD Friendly Drives.

Hi Asmcom,

I’m looking for an external UHD‑Friendly Blu‑ray drive that already has LibreDrive enabled, so I can directly start archiving my 4K UHD Blu‑ray collection with MakeMKV (I’ve already purchased a license).

Could you recommend which models you currently have in stock – for example the Pioneer BDR‑XD07UHD or BDR‑S13E‑X in a Verbatim or Vantec enclosure – with LibreDrive pre-flashed? I’d also be interested in pricing and international shipping options (to Germany).

Thank you very much for your time and support!

Best regards, Oliver

You can have a look on their website - https://shop.uhdfriendlydrives.co.uk/
I highly recommend them

Ordered a Pioneer BDR-XD08EMB-S on Monday night. The drive delivered today. Extremely quick and attentive service. Highly recommended!

Good Morning,

Just had a look at the store, very impressed by the availability and quality.

I hope to purchase a BDR-XS07TUHD. Very impressed by the price and delivery options.

1 question, previously you offered a discount on MakeMKV when purchasing a drive from you, has this changed?

Thanks in advance.
