Firmware date says no, at this time. Pioneer screwed things up for users in December 2022.

Dang... I have the exact same drive and firmware I picked up for super cheap (guess that is why it was so cheap lol). Wished I would of came here sooner, but recently got into trying to backup my UHD collection and have run into the same issue. I guess this drive is completely useless for now?
