Flash Problematic LibreDrive Enabled WH14NS40 to WH16NS60?

Post by khargy »

So I have a WH14NS40:

OS device name: /dev/sr0
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH14NS40
Revision: 1.05
Serial number: XXXXXXXX
Firmware date: 2120-05-06 14:44
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Patched (microcode access re-enabled)
Firmware version: 1.05
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes


Sometimes it has trouble reading certain UHD disc... the problematic discs work fine in my other drives.

Is it worth flashing to WH16NS60-1.02 to see if it helps any?
