The strange thing is when I opened up the drive the controller looks like it's a, Mediatek ARM MT1959UWDN. I'm not sure why it's reporting that it is the other controller.

I have MakeMKV v 1.18.3 installed. SDFtool Flasher v 1.3.6

Unable to change the FW version on the drive with the SDFlasher tool. The tool is returning this as the error, "The drive you have selected does not have the correct drive platform (mt1959) and cannot be flashed" The drive is new Dec 2023. I'm sure I'm out of luck..
