LG or Pioneer?

These Verbatim 43888/9 4K drives were originally manufactured with Pioneer internals, but Pioneer has long since ceased all optical drive production globally. As a result, Verbatim now uses LG-manufactured drives, which are still UHD-capable and even offer key advantages:

Faster burn speeds — 6x on LG vs. 4x on Pioneer (saves hours over large libraries)
Same full compatibility with MakeMKV, HandBrake, VLC, and other tools
No loss in quality or reliability — in testing, both LG and Pioneer drives performed identically
More readily available — Pioneer units are no longer manufactured and increasingly rare

While some users prefer Pioneer for brand familiarity, in real-world performance, LG drives match or exceed them — especially in burning speed. I've personally backed up hundreds of 4K discs on both models, and the LG consistently burned faster and handled all discs without issue.

Pre-Flashed LibreDrive Ready
Each drive comes pre-flashed and tested to unlock full LibreDrive functionality. Rip, back up, or play 4K UHD discs with MakeMKV, VLC, and other software — without needing any modifications.

Individually Tested Before Shipping
Each unit is hand-tested to verify 4K disc compatibility (BD100, BD66, BD50, DVDs). No guesswork — your drive will work straight out of the box.

Protect Your Purchase
We professionally package every drive after testing. If an issue arises, easy returns, replacements, or refunds are available for your complete peace of mind.

Not Just for 4K – Amazing for Standard Blu-rays & DVDs Too

Standard 1080p Blu-ray discs still offer far better quality than most HD streams, often running at 30–40 Mbps with higher colour depth and less motion artifacting. Backing up your Blu-ray library with this drive ensures:

• Cleaner motion and more detail in fast-moving scenes
• No re-compression artifacts compared to digital downloads
• Preservation of lossless audio tracks for proper home theater playback
• Long-term digital backup safe from disc degradation and scratches
• Superfast burn speed for HD Blu-rays in as little 8 minutes!
