@maddy btw i saw this bluray burner when i was doomscrolling aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810619666523.html

dunno if you're still looking for those but isn't 87 USD a good price for one?

tho it's aliexpres and there's little info so obviously kind of risky even tho it's legit according to comments

edit: well some comments say it's fake or defective so ​​

@jiub @maddy just get a secondhand used one smh my head

@[email protected] wasn't @maddy running into reliability issues or smth? she's using these drives a lot heavier than almost anyone with all the ripping she does

@jiub @maddy if you're hitting reliability problems i don't consider $65 aliexpress drives to be a guaranteed dependability boost, and secondhand drives cost about that much anyway

@[email protected] @jiub Triple-layer UHD and slimline drives specifically (so far). Regular Blu-ray and dual-layer UHD titles generally haven't been an issue. But yeah, I generally wouldn't trust aliexpress BD drives for anything but a last resort when there's nothing left of UHD-capable drives except what scalpers are selling.

I might eventually give them a shot for a compatible laser assembly replacement though.

@maddy @jiub oh, slimline.
sounds like a self-dug hole :\
