WH16NS46 vs WH16NS40

Post by RacerEdMKV »

Hi!,
I just got a new drive that I thought was to be a WH16NS40 but when it arrived I see that it is an WH16NS46.
Drive Information
OS device name: K:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS46
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: KLZMB8G5151
Firmware date: 2122-01-14 11:38
Bus encryption flags: 17

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

Does anyone know the difference?
Is it possible to flash the WH16NS40 firmware onto the drive?

Thanks in advance

Just flash BH16NS60 1.02. NS46 is a firmware tailored from Produplicator but all 5,25" drives with MT1959 are compatible for crossflash.

Thanks for the reply & info.
You said:

Was that a typo and you meant WH16NS60 or is there another firmware that I should try?
Thanks,
