Hi, newbie here. First post. I notice this is very similar to previous ones. Is it OK to PM for details of flashing the drive? I'm on the latest Mac OS.

Hey All,

I'm not having any luck with this. Can anyone offer some guidance?

Here's my MakeMKV driver info:

Drive Information
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U

Serial number: ...
Firmware date: 2119-01-04 10:47

It's a 2021 drive on a Mac (MacBook Air M2 chip, Sequoia 15.4) connected via USB-C

That's the drive info after I attempted to flash it with the Terminal.

xxxxx-MacBook-Air:MacOS mcclayton$ ./makemkvcon f -d /IOBDServices/F0D08170 -f /Users/xxxx/Desktop/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /Users/xxxx/Desktop/ASUS-BW-16D1H-U-A204-WM01001-211901041044.bin

After flashing, I restarted both the drive and MakeMKV and there's no change in the drive info. Any pointers?

Firmware is not encrypted so change enc to main.

Back when I bought my external drive, I was dissapointed to find out it was not UHD friendly, some even claimed it could not read UHD bc hardware was not present. Decided today to see if anything changed and am unsure if it has. Here's my drive info, still no UHD?

Also if it is possible, will I lose the capability to write 100GB M-Disks?

Thanks for your time!
