Update 03/01/26: Buffalo Americas has reached out to state that the reported adjustments to Buffalo Japan's product line will have no bearing on U.S. product stocks and commitments. "Buffalo Americas' U.S. operations remain fully committed to supplying optical drives to the American market, and our DVD/Blu-ray drive products are anticipated to remain available for the near future," said the firm's U.S. COO, in an email to Tom's Hardware.
Moreover, Buffalo Americas would like to highlight that its TAA-compliant North American optical disk writer product offerings include: the MediaStation 16x Desktop Blu-ray Writer (BRXL-16U3), MediaStation 6x Portable Blu-ray Writer (BRXL-PUS6U3B-TAA), and MediaStation 8x Portable DVD Writer (DVSM-PUV8U3B-TAA).
