Hello. I have a Pioneer drive that seems to be similar to other drives asked about in this thread. I didn't know if it was more appropriate to post my question here or to start a new thread. My drive info is:

Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-212D
Revision: 1.02
Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXXX
Firmware Date: 2022-03-16
Bus encryption flags: 13

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8F00 (the same as other drives in this thread)
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-212T
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.02/ID61
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

Currently, this drive will not recognize 4K UHD disks. I have used it to rip regular Blu-Ray disks.

Is the firmware on this drive too recent? Can this drive be re-flashed and therefore saved from a life of mediocrity?
