I tried, but it doesn't work. I get this error message. "Drive and Firmware hardware types don't match." Thank you for your help.

You must check the force flash box.

My LG WH16NS40 just died, so I'm going to have to purchase something. Pricing and availability varies, but the local Microcenter has Asus BW-16D1X-U in stock for the same price I'm seeing online. So I was thinking of picking one up after reading this thread.

It looks like the most recent posters are getting a Pioneer drive in the enclosure when purchasing an Asus BW-16D1X-U. And while the firmware and process isn't posted, it is flashable (and usable with MakeMKV) with PM being sent. Is that correct?

Correct. But if it's a Pioneer drive inside the firmware must be older than Dec. 2022 to enable UHD capability. Buy it and if the firmware is younger return it. If a LG is inside you can flash it with the tools available in the forum.

Thanks, The serial number sticker on the enclosure has a build date of Sept 2025, and its an LG drive inside. I flashed the 16NS60 1.02MK firmware and all is good.

Okay, it's done. Everything is working perfectly. Thank you.

That's true! Next time I'll be more careful.
