Genuine Pioneer-Manufactured Verbatim 43888 Drive — Extremely Limited Stock

This listing features a Verbatim 43888 external 4K Blu-ray writer with an original Pioneer-manufactured optical drive inside — not the more common LG variant found in current production models.

Pioneer has permanently ceased global production of all consumer optical drives used in the Verbatim 43888. As a result, these Pioneer-based units are no longer being made, and only a very small quantity remains in circulation worldwide. Most existing stock has already been absorbed by collectors, professional archivists, and high-end home media users.

Because of this, Pioneer-equipped drives have become exceptionally rare, and this listing represents one of the last chances to purchase an unused unit with a Pioneer internal — fully tested, LibreDrive-enabled, Original (unpatched) Firmware and plug-and-play out of the box.

Why Choose a Pioneer-Based Drive?

• True Collector's Item – These units are becoming increasingly sought-after by enthusiasts and will not return to production.

• Brand Prestige – Pioneer has long been known for high-end optical drive engineering and media reliability.

• Proven Compatibility – Fully LibreDrive-enabled and tested for flawless use with MakeMKV.

Due to their extreme scarcity, these Pioneer units are offered at a premium price — reflecting both their collectability and their irreplaceable nature. If you’re looking to own one of the last Pioneer-based 4K drives in unused condition, this is your opportunity.

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
