US.
For 5.25 enclosure.

OWC Mercury Pro, Vantec NexStar DX2, Vantec 536S3

I was too terse. I was looking for drive recommendation to go into an enclosure that I already have. I had a bad experience with OWC. Mine went bad in roughly about a year. Replaced with Vantec and it is working fine, a year later. So I bought another Vantec for a two drive setup. Both working great.

I'm also looking for the best drive to rip my BR4K collection. I'm based in Europe / France and ready to flash the drive if needed. I've got a desktop PC but I don't really mind about the form factor of the drive.

Thanks!

Looking for LibreDrive capable Pioneer, external USB, slim, slot loading drive. I could Flash, but I am also willing to by local, so to speak.

I should have said US destination for shipping. They appear to sell to Europe only?

I'm at the very beginning with collecting and ripping BR disc, most of recommended drives are out of stock wherever I look for, what's your recommendation for drive available in Europe/Poland? Some here mentioned Verbatim 43888, as it should be compatible out of the box, but I've seen some threads here with people having issues with it. My PC case doesn't have a drive bay so internal drives add cost of external bay.
