for those interested I got another (retail box) of the BW-16D1HT made in 2021 with V3.1. I used the MK version here and all is good. Rips UHD and everything else perfectly. Much quieter drive than my one from 2017....much quieter!

Yes I have fully powered it off numerous times. Once it powers on you hear the drive head move back and forth, but not matter what disc you insert it won't read it. Very strange.

So my BW-16D1HT no longer reads anything...no DVD, BR, UHD. What are the current best gotos for LibreDrives? I can get another BW-16D1HT, but it has been a while....will new ones need custom flashing? Not sure if the 4K holes were patched my Asus. If so, what are procedures? The drive I had was made...

Thanks! And I'm getting speeds 25-30 m/s, so it is good!

That doesn't seem right, no. Well...I'll leave well enough alone then, unless I can hear from someone who has done the flash. 3.01 only increases rip speed I think. Is there no official 3.01 from Asus? I have done the flash from 3.00 to 3.01 and it worked fine. No, there's no "official" a...

Ok, so when I go to flash the drive with the zip file via the link a few posts up, it says current version 3.00-06 and new version 1.00-A4 Is this what I want? I thought it was 3.01. Is this just the flash program saying 1.00-A4? Will the Asus drive say 3.01 after the flash or 1.00-A4

thx!

I have just bought this drive...it is a January 2017 manufactuer date with firmware 3.0. If 3.01 is a faster rip and has no issues otherwise, where can I get 3.01 and how to flash?
