edit: other users here say this one is good to flash firmware on latest stock.
Check the makemkv thread on flashing libredrive to make sure you either buy a compatible model, or buy one pre-flashed from one of the forum members who offers this service.
I just got my new old-stock pre-flashed pioneer drive in the mail yesterday from BillyCar11. It costs more than a new stock one, but he has purchased, firmware checked, flashed the drives, and tested them prior to selling them. Apparently, Pioneer uses more reliable parts than LG or ASUS for long term use, but all new pioneer stock is not flash-able with Libredrive currently. I thought about buying one of these, but decided to spend more after my bro-in-law's LG drive failed just as BillyCar and others say they are prone to. Not saying don't buy it, just be aware. this clearly costs less, so it can be a worthwhile trade-off.

Just a note, if you just want to read and write to CDs, DVDs, and 1080P Blu-rays, you can just buy this and it will work. Just so there's no confusion. If you don't care about 4K UHD capability, this is a great deal.
