If I were buying a new drive today, preferably external, what would be the best option for a drive I can safely flash? I was looking at the Asus BW-16D1X-U, but it appear that they have started coming with newer firmware that is preventing flashing? I was also looking at a BP50NB40 that is currentl...

Hi there @Coopervid, I feel bad joining in on the "please PM me firmware" band wagon, but I foolishly bought a 43890 thinking I could use it for UHD blu-rays, not really understanding the distinction as this is my first foray into backing up disc content. I was hoping to find a resolution...

Vundebar!

The first easy drive experience I've had haha.

FYI- I was told the 8591 firmware belongs to a BD combo ( can't write BD-R). Therefore this hardware can't be flashed with a BD-writer firmware. Thanks for the information and getting in touch. I've replied to your PM with the specific link and product name which does include BD Combo. Is there any...

Hello! I have a Pioneer BDR-XD05S (the S shows up on the sticker on the bottom) that was manufactured in january of 2017 (according to the sticker on the bottom) and I was wondering if it was possible to have flashed to work with UHD discs? The drive and libredrive information are as follows: Drive...
