BH40N Working with UHD Support

[swboos21]

Oh boy! So i have been lurking around here for a while and trying to find info on UHD support for some drives that i own. One of which is a Internal/ Full size BD drive, Model: BH40N, Rom Ver: A1B2, Manufacture date: 06/23/2021

I ended up coming across this post viewtopic.php?f=16&t=36417 and found that someone tried to flash a similar drive. Some have said that it cannot be done and some said it might work. So i took a gamble on it and as far as i can tell, IT WORKED! I cross-flashed it to WH16NS60 1.02MK firmware as suggested by MartyMcNuts himself and got some good results so far. I first started with John wick 4 and got a hash check error, then tried 2 other UHD Discsand had no issue. Observed read speeds peeked at 30.3M/s. So far so good. I am just glad to have saved a decent chunk of change on an expensive UHD rated or preflashed drive. I am slow to answer here but any questions are welcome.
