Yes, I did. Both had failure #1 immediately. I even tried the LG flasher and it just hung. Just packed them up.

I just tried one of each of these sata-usb adapters and neither worked for flashing, which was strange because it was (visually) the one Marty said he had, but the part number IS different. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VR52ZZ0 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CK205ZG Shall I send them ba...

I can confirm that Blumac77's image of the usb-sata adapter works fine for flashing. Just did it here.

I can confirm this usb-sata adapter flashes my Asus 16D1HT drive just fine -

Just flashed a new drive and wanted to try it out but Makemkv is not taking the beta key listed in the forum and it says my version 1.14.3 is not the latest and it is.

The Unitek Y-1034 does not come with a power cable, how do you power up your ODDs?

Sorry, I had to re-register, I wasn't getting the email address change. Anyway, I may try one of each even though they look identical. I agree about usb, why don't all HDs and ODDs have USB only connectors now? Sooner or later it will change but to what?

Hey woodstock
Do you have a link to the hot swap bays you use?

Thanks
