ASUS SBW-06D2X-U

Thanks Coopervid, the instructions seem pretty straightforward; however I'm wondering which firmware file is the right one: Asus BW-16D1HT 3.10MK or something else?

WH16NS60 1.02 works better than the ASUS firmware with 3-layer UHDs.

Thanks again Coopervid, unfortunately it seems that the firmware is not applied even if flashing completes successfully

For the record, flashing takes some time (less than 1 minute), it doesn't go from 0% to 100% immediately.

I have tried both rebooting my computer as well as power cycling the drive but the outcome is the same, and MakeMKV keeps reporting

You need to flash with rawflash enc instead of main.

Kinda weird that it still reports an ASUS drive!? But that might be Mac / Linux.

After flashing it and rebooting the computer, it shows up as

Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS6

I believe MacOS was just caching some information about make/model.
