Just to confirm - is is still true, that I need a Windows VM to last LibreDrive, or can I do it directly from the Mac?


Thanks,

Rainer

You should be able to flash firmware into a drive using a Mac.

Thanks.

Will try it out.

Are there any things I have to look at (versions, release dates of firmware, ...)?

That's the sticky thread about flashing drives. Like the man says in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, "Learn it. Know it. Live it."
