Hi Everyone, I purchased the Buffalo MediaStation BRXL-16U3 USB 3.0 External Blu-ray Burner, I opened up the External enclosure to get the drive info and it is the LG Model: BH16NS58 (AXJA3HB) ROM VER: 1.03, DRIVE REV: A0, MANUFACTURED: OCTOBER 2024, I Would like to know what is the correct loader and the correct 1.02 firmware to unlock the drive for ripping uhd on a Windows 10 PC and Windows 10 Laptop, also can I do this flash with USB 3.0 Or will I need to do this through the SATA, also is the factory external case suitable or should I put it in a better external enclosure, and if so what is the best enclosure to put it in. Thank You everyone,

Flash to WH16NS60 1.02-MK.
No need to mess with anything. Just connect the enclosure USB and flash it.

I purchased the Buffalo MediaStation BRXL-16U3 USB 3.0 External Blu-ray Drive, and drive info are follows:
Drive Information
OS device name: P:
Current profile: DVD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BH16NS58
Revision: 1.03
Serial number: KLQOBxxxxxx
Firmware date: 2120-05-08 09:33
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 82
LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
To make it a UHD readable, should I flash it using
1. SDFtool Flasher v1.3.6
2. HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BH16NS60-1.02-NM00600-212005081014.bin (found in a folder MK/HL-DT-ST/BH16NS60) or a different FW?
I have MakeMKV 1.18.3 installed. Should I downgrade it to 1.17.7 it before flashing?

Thank you for clarification regarding MakeMKV.
To confirm, for a Model BH16NS58 Rev. 1.03; it is recommended to use BH16NS60-1.02
(P.S. I saw a folder for BH16NS58 with BH16NS58-1.01 in it.)

Thank you, Billycar11.
Flashing went flawlessly on Windows 11 PC, and UHD reading works.
The only thing I hope is for these Hitachi-LG drives inside Buffalo case to last.
