Correct firmware for BU40N w/ U100?

Post by marioman50 »

Hello, I just want to make sure I am flashing the correct firmware for a drive I’ve just purchased (archgon MD-8107-U3-AC-B). My goal is to be able to play/rip/write 4K blu-rays.

I downloaded the MK firmware pack and I’ve come across the firmware named:

HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-U100-3M01801-211910161036.bin

Is this the correct firmware for me? I’m using the SDFtool Flasher (v1.3.0). If I’m correct, I am supposed to select “WRITE Firmware”, select the .bin file I listed above, then click “START”.

If anyone can help, please let me know. I don’t want to brick my new drive by accident. Thanks!

Here is my full drive info:
