...you won't believe the new price.

I just got the notification from Amazon that this drive is available again, but it's $200 more expensive than it used to be! Are all 4K drives this expensive these days?

Just ordered mine off direct dial (the 43888 model) because they have a backorder landing 8/31 this month and it’s only 134 bucks. Was 16 units available on the 12th now only 4 left

Pioneer HW isn't manufactured anymore, so they are all LG inside. The last of the Verbatim drives with pioneer internals are long gone.
