Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024
Hi,
I have an LG BH16NS40 firmware ver 1.03 would like to flash to allow UHD compatibility but confused on a couple things. Firstly its enclosed in a NST-536S3-BK and read that there are compatibility issues with this enclosure if the firmware of the enclosure is jmicron chipset pcb version 1V00D F0901. Wonder how you verify this? Second where do you find the appropriate firmware to use on the drive?
Fwiw I may not want to take the risk considering I don't have any UHD drives and I already nudered my favorite Pioneer drive by updating the firmware. Stupid me..
Thanks

Your fine with any version of that case now. Makemkv's flasher was updated to work with it.drknight71 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2024 6:31 pmHi,

Email me if you want the correct fw if you don't want to flash it yourself.
I also have pioneers with old fw see below for email and auto flasher.

WH... vs BH..., same hardware. Difference is how it's sold. OEM vs Retail.
IF runnining Windows, use the SDFtool Flasher.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024
If I put "BU40N 1.03MK" Firmware onto an Optical Drive, will I still be able to use the drive to burn BluRays using other softwares?
Looking to do this on a "BRUHD-PU3-BK"

Hi, I have here a CH12NS40 with MT1959, found in the basement room, lying around for about 7 years.
Which MK-Firmware will be the best? 1.01 oder 1.03?
Thanks!

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024
Ok, thank you!
With MK 1.03 a 3-Layer-Disc (Chinatown) war ripped up to 75%. Then an error occurs. I'll test with another 3-Layer and some 2-Layer.....

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024
Oh, yeah, what a difference. Speed up to 8x, only <6x with slow increase with the "original" MK firmware. And the same 3-layer-disc (Chinatown) was ripped without error.
Great, thanks a lot @ Coopervid

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024
Hey all, I'm in the US, and looking for a good drive to buy right now. My main box runs linux, and I'd prefer to buy an external USB3 drive, but I can run an internal drive in an enclosure if that's the best idea. I have a few UHD discs but the vast majority of my collection is standard blu ray. Thanks!
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024
For anyone who is UK-based and desperate to get hold of a decent 9.5 mm drive enclosure (ie. not brittle, plastic Chinese junk), I have a spare, brand new Vantec NST-510S3-BK listed on a well-known auction site!

PSA - Be sure to read the entire guide carefully.
I bought the OWC Mercury Pro enclosure BEFORE ordering my drive, but failed to notice the info in the guide saying that it doesn't fit some Pioneer 5.25 drives without modification. I got a BDU-S13UBK and sure enough, the drive didn't fit. Fortunately, it was last day of Amazon's return window. I bought a Vantec NST-540S3-BK, which is arriving today.
Depth dimensions:
BDR-S13UBK is 181mm deep.
Mercury Pro is 174.75mm deep.
Vantec NST is 185mm deep.
Measure twice, cut once!
