I would like to upgrade now to an external UHD player/master always slim to connect to my 2018 Mac Mini with Monterey 12.6.4 to read, rip and burn BD UHD.
What do you recommend me to buy to be problem free and start immediately?
Thank you.
Kind regards.

The very first post on this thread is a little confusing on the Pioneer drives. If I pick up a Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD will it work out of the box or do I need to find one with a manufacturing date older than 2023?

Thanks for your help with this.

• 1. Make sure your Drive was built after 2016 on label or late 2015 if you want to risk it.
  2. Drive Platform MT1959<Most important in makemkv
  3. SVC NS50+ LG only on label for NB drives NB50+
  4. Just because your drive is the same model number does not mean it will work, if you are unsure ask me i offer remote flashing and check everything before i flash.
  5. Dont flash your dive if it does not meet these requirements if you do you will be unable to read all disks and unable to restore without dosflash that does not work on most modern computers
