I'm pretty sure it is a "coupon" or discount on MakeMKV - not a direct purchase from Asmcom. Purchase are directly from MakeMKV.

We purchase MakeMKV licenses in bulk directly from MakeMKV. This is fact.

Asmcom

The drive was well packaged, and shipped fast with excellent communication

For anyone who has concerns paying with paypal friends and family, that's totally fair, but also consider that there are 1700+ post on this thread lending credibility to asmcom being a trustworthy seller

Hopefully I won't be needing any more drives in future, but asmcom will be the first place I'll check if I do.

It came in a very well packed box with a healthy amount of foam protection so everything was neatly placed and unharmed inside even though the package had been opened by customs. Speaking of customs, with 50 bucks, the import fees were a little higher than expected but well, importing stuff is never cheap

In the box came the drive, a complementary USB-C to USB-C cable, the power supply and some haribos - nice touch thx So after I let the drive warm up to room temperature and after eating the haribos I tried to rip my very first blu ray. I enabled the settings as of Asmcom's instruction email and proceeded like described. I already tested a DVD a regular BD and a UHD (with makemkv) - all worked like a charm, no issues whatsoever. What I will say though, I was surprised how loud the drive is. I don't know what exactly I was expecting, maybe something along the lines of the noise of a BD-Player or a 3.5" hard drive but this thing can get really loud! The noise level ranges from reasonable to definitely bothersome, I guess depending on what part of the disc and how fast it's reading. It's probably not something you like to have running on your desk while you are working. So I'm glad I didn't get the top loader since these ones are said to be even louder.

Anyhow, I was so excited to finally get my first BD rip! I am so stoked to finally be able to digitise my BD collection! I should have done this years ago!
I was so happy, I just ordered 10 new blu rays Honestly, the film industry is just so stupid... If they gave us the ability to buy a digital copy - not a stream! - alongsie the physical copy somewhere 5-10 years ago, maybe they would have been able to save the market for physical(/digital) movies.

So I am very happy with my purchase even though it's quite a high price for just a "small little plasticky drive" but that is the price I have to pay for being so late to the party and I am very happy that I managed to still get a Pioneer drive! It's probably one of the best things I bought in years! The only critisism I have is that the cable of the power supply is pretty short (around 1m) so you have to have a power outlet very close by. The ordering process and service I've experienced so far from Asmcom was top notch thank you - I will recommend his shop without hesitation!

Sorry we are out of Pioneer drives at present.

Kind Regards

I also want to give credit to Asmcom for a very smooth buying experience. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they proactively sent helpful information on how to use and set up the drive—even though everything worked perfectly out of the box and I didn’t need additional support.

Overall, a great experience with both the drive and the seller. Highly recommended.

As I said before, I’m posting a review for the drive I purchased from Asmcom now that I’ve received it and tried it out.
I received my drive, a Hitachi BU40N fitted in a Vantec enclosure with firmware 1.00DE, a few days ago. First things first, I love the drive, it’s great! But to begin with there was one issue, one of my 4K discs wouldn’t rip (War of the Rohirrim) and I wasn’t sure why. Contacting Asmcom, they helped me immensely over the past few days troubleshooting the issue, they were so unbelievably helpful and patient, always responding to my emails within an hour at the most despite what I imagine is a very hefty workload. They helped me come up with potential solutions, offered to refund the drive in full if I wasn’t satisfied with it, offered to sell me an upgrade to a potentially better drive, offered to sell me a separate power supply for my drive at a significant discount to the standard retail price in case it was a power delivery issue and even helped me flash the drive to the more optimal 1.03mk firmware. Eventually we determined that it was probably just an iffy disc that works in a 4K Blu-Ray player but not this drive, something that I wouldn’t have been able to figure out without their help, and the drive was able to rip the other 4K disc I’ve tried so far (The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)) with no issue, as well as standard Blu-Rays, so I know that it works perfectly.

A truly great product, but honestly I think it’s the customer service that truly shines here. I genuinely didn’t think that there was customer service this good left in the world any more, seriously, it cannot be overstated how good Asmcom is in this regard. I would absolutely, 100% recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a UHD friendly drive, you will NOT be disappointed. Great products and even better service.

Thanks again for everything Asmcom!

Kind regards,
LayzeeDayzee
