I see others list this drive, but I am missing the line "Highest AACS version." Is this drive flashable? If it makes a difference, I use the drive on an Ubuntu system, and only have it on Windows to flash it. I have SPFtool flasher and All you need firmware pack

Drive Information
OS device name: E:
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U
Revision: A105
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2120-12-02 11:14
Bus encryption flags: 1F

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled

Yep, flash to WH16NS60 1.02-MK and you are good to go.
That worked. Thank you for all you efforts and support. I see you have helped a LOT of people. Thank you for that!
