I just finished following the guide to flash my encrypted 1.05 WH16NS40 to HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00900-212005061440 and was wondering if there's anything else I need to do to ensure that I won't get the "sleep bug?"

I don't currently have any UHD Blu-ray to test out, but I intend to start buying them sometime in the near future.

Here's what MakeMKV says about my drive:

If you require any further information, please let me know.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure all UHD friendly firmwares have the sleep bug and the only way to fix it is to use a UHD official firmware like the WH16NS60 1.02 MK, which you would be able to crossflash to your drive.

The downside is that it won't be compatible with most other ripping applications other than MakeMKV, but why would you need anything else?

The other option is to only insert the disk when your ready to rip, and begin ripping within 2 minutes before the drive goes to sleep. Opening and closing the disk tray will wake it.

Correct!
