Hypothesis/Discussion on Archgon MD8107S-U3

#1 Post by tpglitch » Wed Feb 11, 2026 11:12 pm

Hey yall!

I was doing some research and came up with a hypothesis. Considering the MD8107S-U3 and MD8107S-U3-UHD both contain the BU40N internally, hypothetically it would be better just to buy the non-UHD model and flash it, since it works over USB unlike the UHD version, and UHD is still possible, right? Because they're both the BU40N internally.

Also looking for feedback on the drive.

Don't buy an archgon at all now as they blocked flashing and libre drive in the case

It may be fixed eventually but not yet
