Thank you so much. It was able to read blue ray disks before. However after the flash, it keeps crashing my server. I am using HP EliteDesk 800 G4 DM i7-8700T 16GB RAM 512GB linux.

I am using the verbatim slimline drive

Do any of you know what this issue is ?

You need to remove power and USB from the drive after flashing. And Verbatim enclosures are very power hungry. Make sure that the drive is connected to USB-C or a powered USB hub.

This cannot be flashed as the firmware is too new. I have one too with the same firmware and nothing can be done with it.
Cheers :D
