And the exact same thing happened with my first LG UHD-BD drive. The second one I wrecked myself via a CD with a crack, which literally exploded within the drive, and I can't blame LG.

I and my family members have owned several Pioneer 4K BD-ROM drives for several years. I think around the year 2017, and so far all of them work perfectly fine in terms of reading and writing optical media. Of course, the ability to legally playback a native 4K Blu-ray discs from a PC was disabled with the latest version of PowerDVD 23 Ultra, and one can no longer do Blu-ray 3D from a PC (but that is not a Pioneer issue but instead a problem with the BDA not working with PC software and hardware companies to offer secure 4K Blu-ray disc playback options, and not offering a Blu-ray 3D option from a PC that use to exist many years ago). But 2K Blu-ray disc playback is flawless as long as the disc is not badly scratched or damaged.

Pioneer makes high quality 4K BD-ROM drives and 2K BD-ROM drives for desktop and Laptop/Notebook computers with both internal and external drive options.
