I recently bought an Asus Zendrive U9M DVD/CD drive off amazon and its pretty nice but wondering if i should return it and try finding a blu-ray drive, but it looks like recently everything by major brands has been discontinued, and the most promising new branded one ive been able to find is an LG BP50NB40 from newegg for around 100$, is that a good deal?
There's also a few Pioneer BDR-XD08TC drives listed on eBay for around 90$, are those more desirable?
I wouldn't want to spend much more than that, and I dont care about 4K.
I've tried looking on Amazon, and all the new stuff is from Chinese no-name brands that are sub 100$ but I rather buy something name brand.
Thank you

bp50nb40 from the newegg china seller is fake or recased nb72 drives in nb52 cases
xd08tc is also fake see my psa about fake drives
get the buffalo drives from b&H those are real
the 5.25 one has a chance to be a pioneer but low

Wow that's crazy thank you for the elite knowledge my friend saved me from getting scammed

Are the bp50nb40 drives from best buy also fake? Seems like it came from a different seller and not directly from best buy.

oh boy - it actually ended up coming from new egg. scammed :/
