Are Pioneer drives going to fit?

I was looking into this drive:

Which says here:


At the bottom of the page:

****
Fitment Notice:
The Pioneer BDR-S13UBK Internal BD / DVD / CD Writer's larger than usual front dimensions may not fit some 5.25 inch drive slots, meaning this drive may not fit in your Case.

Please confirm the dimensions of your Case's 5.25 inch drive slot(s) before purchasing this Pioneer Drive.

Drive Dimensions: 148 x 42.3 x 181mm / 5-13/16 x 1-21/32 x 7-1/8 inches
*********

And this is the drive I am currently using: the GGW-H20L:


My case is the
Carbide Series 200R
CC-9011023-WW

While this LG fits, what I can't tell is if this Pioneer drive will.

And this isn't the only Pioneer BD drive that has these dimensions, from what I can tell.

Is there a way to find out? I checked a less expensive Pioneer model, the BDR-212DBK, and it seems the size is almost the same:


DIMENSIONS:
148 mm x 42.3 mm x 180 mm (W x H x D)

Note: I already asked Corsair about it, and they didn't give me a conclusive answer.
 
Thedrive will fit in a computer case - no question. It might not fit in all USB enclosures.

But be warned. Pioneer introduced a new firmware in De. 2022 which leads to the fact that programs like Makemkv and subsequently AnyDVD can't decrypt UHDs with them. Mike from Makemkv is working on a fix but it takes already months and is not yet available.
