The Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide is kept up to date with all the instructions and links to the tools and files you need to flash your drive. It is pretty dense, so you might have to read it twice to fully understand what's in there.

Your drive is a BU40N. Assuming your drive meets the criteria to flash (listed at the top of the post), the guide says to flash a "BU40N on any Firmware directly to > BU40N 1.03MK".

If you're on Windows, the SDFtool GUI makes it fairly easy to do. You can find a link to that tool in the Guide.
