Hi all,

Just registered on the forum to write this thank you post to Asmcom. They put a great effort and pride in their job. It was a pleasure doing business with them.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for review it is great to see that you have registered with MakeMKV.

I believe you will find the forum interesting & beneficial.

Kind Regards

Asmcom

I have been asked to write a review here on the makemkv forum by the seller.
I received the ASUS BW-16D1HT Drive with Vantec 5.25" Enclosure off ebay to plug it straight into the usb. I have put a 4K disc in the drive (Blade Runner 2049) and Makemkv reads it perfectly. The firmware was changed to 3.10 and there is LibreDrive enabled.
The service from the seller was really well communicated, I thought that the price was reasonable and it arrived within a few days.

Just to say I ordered a ASUS BW-16D1HT from Asmcom and would like to say it works perfectly.
I was kept up to date over the few days it took to reach me and the price was very reasonable.
All in all a superb service thanks.

400 drives stuck in customs. Will have stock soon, hopefully in next ten days.

Prices and services will be brilliant!

A special thank you, for all your help and support with remote help today.
My new managed switch seems to be working and I am looking forward to getting my QNAP NAS and Dune 4K back from you.

Could you please PM me with a recommendation for 2 new uhdfriendly drives. I would like the fastest drives for reading and backing up my discs. I require one internal 5.25" and one Vantec USB external with whatever you suggest.

You are absolute gentleman.

Harry....

Another happy customer here.
Ordered the LG-BU40N v1.03MK UHD-Friendly Drive With Vantec Enclosure.
As I am based in the UK, I ordered on Tuesday, was posted same-day and received it on Thursday.
Works well creating my UHD backups, typically @ x7.6. Plug-and-play / powered through single USB3. I can't ask for more.
Thank You.

Good man Chris, thank you for the review. Very kind of you as I was not expecting this.

Hope everything goes well with the drive. You know where I am if you have any problems.

Hi. Just popping in here to praise forum member "asmcom". I bought a new ASUS BW-16D1HT from
him yesterday with 3.01 firmware and an enclosure. I'm so happy with how the sale went and the
first class customer service that he provided. So much so that I've come to this forum to yell it
from the rooftops.
Not only was he really quick in replying to all my queries about the product, but once I decided
on buying he had it all flashed, fitted in its enclosure, packaged and dispatched all within
just a couple of hours. Incredible service!
I just thought others should know, so if you're dithering and undecided......just go for it.
The seller on here "asmcom" is A1 and I for one would not hesitate to recommend him.

This frorum looks great too. Looking forward to having a good nose about


Thank you so much!

Hello Grandee,

Thank you for your kind post and also the review on eBay. You will find the MakeMKV forum very helpful. The creator of MakeMKV is a genius and a genuinely a nice person. Remember what I told you. When you buy a drive of me, that is when the support begins. I look forward to helping you in the future with any queries whatsoever or any advise you require. I hope you and your family stay safe

The last few weeks have been mad with the amount of orders I have received from MakeMKV and eBay. I have now run out of Vantec enclosures for both my distribution business and my favourite pastime hobby. I apologise to all my customers that I have run out of Large Vantec enclosures. Early in the year the Vantec Factory had to close because of the Coronavirus and this meant that purchase orders were then running behind. I had large inventory at the start of February this year and now all large enclosures are sold out. I still have large stock of small enclosures so LG-BU40N's is not a problem. For customers looking Vantec Enclosures without drive, please contact me.
I will have large order from Vantec soon and then stock should not be a problem for the rest of this year.

Asmcom
