Can anybody help where I should post the inquiry? Been a few days and no reply in this forum so maybe there's a more suitable one. Thanks.

I also have an ASUS BW-16D1X-U, but the Drive platform is listed as a: Pioneer RS8F00. I am new to the forum, but I figured posting in an existing one that best matched my situation might make more sense.
This is my drive information with the Serial number omitted :

Code: Select all

Drive Information
OS device name: G:
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U
Revision: E113
Serial number: 
Firmware date: 2020-07-21
Bus encryption flags: 1B

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8F00
Firmware version: ID76

No disc inserted
I tried to review the main thread "Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025", but this drive is not listed, but one like it is listed, but it sort of indicated it would be an LG, but based on the info it is a Pioneer RS8F00. Anyhow I got a little confused and figured I might ask some question before proceeding in an effort to avoiding any chance at bricking it.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.
