New here, would like double checking before flashing drive

Post by bookworm27 »

Hello, Newbie here, I recently bought a USB external Blu ray drive in the hopes of backing up my disks.

This is my drive information from makemkv:

Drive Information
OS device name: J:
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: SBW-06D5H-U
Revision: A102
Serial number: **************
Firmware date: 2124-08-05 14:55
Bus encryption flags: 1F

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

The exact model is this: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07P617CT9 ... title&th=1

I have also installed SDFtool flasher and the "All you need firmware" pack in advance, but I'm not really sure which firmware in the "Slim External Drives" is compatible for my drive.

I want to make sure everything is A-OK and select the right firmware before taking any further steps.

Many Thanks.
