Prolly gonna pick up alot more. For the sake of having it, how would I extract the firmware to save on the HDD?
Thoughts on this particular drive is they are VERY WELL MADE. High quality external drives. My advice to anyone that's looking to find that "diamond in the rough" firmware, ask sellers on ebay or Amazon the manufacture date on the side of the box, most of the time they are willing to check because they want to make the sale. If it's January 2022 then you'll get the firmware your looking for. It's honestly better imho than paying almost $100 more to someone else ::cough cough::... Yeah, it requires a little legwork to find a seller, but once you do you can save yourself some $$ instead of paying someone just for having that particular firmware... And odds are they have alot more of that particular drive.
If anyone of you guys is familiar with USBJTAG that community of people focuses on sharing information as opposed to consolidating knowledge for a very few select people to know. It would be nice to see this site shift towards a more decentralized information base as opposed to hogging all the glory. Just an idea. How long has everyone at MAKEMKV been waiting for a Pioneer solution? Exactly my point. Alot more progress would be made if ideas are shared within the community instead of hogged for select few people. Maybe I'm biased, who knows.
