There does not appear to exist any AC powered USB C hubs with ports that deliver more than 15W output and also data at the same time. Charging ...

Re: SDFtool Flasher
No, you aren't, not by a long stretch. The original versions came with a native UHD Pioneer drive inside. The current versions come with an LG BU40N, which needs flashing with SDFTool Flasher. That was my assumption. It has already been flashed. I am wondering if those who have already flashed this...

Re: SDFtool Flasher
On Amazon you can buy a USB cable that has 2 x USB connections on the same end, one for data/power & the other for additional power. Do you have a link? Am I the first person to attempt to enable UHD capability on the Verbatim 43888 drive? No, you aren't, not by a long stretch. The original ver...

Re: SDFtool Flasher
Probably power (my personal experience with this model). I suspect that you're correct. I have tried several clean UHD discs and they all behave the same way. 20 min in they start spinning intermittently as if they pausing or having trouble. The Verbatim 43888 drive does not have a separate power s...

Re: SDFtool Flasher
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I recently purchased a Verbatim 6888 optical drive and attempted to use the SDFtool Flasher to flash the firmware. The internal drive is the BU40N model. I have attempted to back up several of my UHD discs but they have all failed. Can anyone check my...

Gauging interest in Optical Drive Development
Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to the world of optical drive back ups but I am not new to the world of product development. I'm checking in with the community here to see if there is interest in developing a LibreDrive and UHD compatible drive. I am leaning towards basing the design off o...
