Question about Flashing With an Enclosure
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2022 11:33 pm
So I was looking to purchase the LG WH16NS40 blu ray drive along with the Vantec NST-536S3-BK enclosure.
Now the enclosure is listed as not supported to flash in the Ultimate Guide. Now here come the 2 possible dumb questions:
On top of that, I have no optical drive bays in my case. So literally the only way to use this internal blu ray drive, is to open up the back of my case, plug it up through sata of course, and leave it all open and messy till I'm done. To do that every subsequent time I wanna use the drive is a hassle. Which is I why I need this enclosure.
Thank You ahead of time!
Now the enclosure is listed as not supported to flash in the Ultimate Guide. Now here come the 2 possible dumb questions:
- The enclosure being on the "not supported for flash" list, just means I can't flash my drive whilst it's plugged into the enclosure correct?
- So theoretically, can't I just flash my drive before hand by plugging it up normally through sata on my PC, then when done, plug into the enclosure afterwards?
