Is this USB enclosure suitable for flashing the drive firmware?
Hi, I will soon be purchasing my first 5.25-inch Blu-ray drive on the used market (I could get an LG BH16NS55 or a ASUS BW-16D1HT nearby at a good price. Possibly even a BDR-S13UBK for an acceptable price.). I plan to buy an external USB enclosure for it. I’ve found an affordable option online: the "CENMATE Optical Drive Enclosure for 5.25-inch SATA Blu-ray/CD/DVD Drive". Will this enclosure allow for flashing the drive's firmware?
