UHD Friendly & Official drives for sale & flashing service (currently Australia & NZ only)

[MartyMcNuts]

Hi everyone,

If your "UHD Friendly" drive currently has "unfriendly firmware", I can flash it for you, or you can purchase a "ready to go!" drive from me!!

The most common "UHD Friendly" drive models in Australia are:

LG BH16NS55
ASUS BW-16D1HT-Pro

If you are after an official UHD drive, I can (try to) order:

LG BU40N (Depends on availability).
LG WH16NS60 (Very hard to get. Also depends on availability).
Buffalo BRUHD-PU3-BK (easier to get, but expensive!)

If you are unsure about your drive being UHD comaptible, please ask...

Hi all,

I currently have 2 x LG BH16NS55 downgraded to firmware 1.02 in stock.

Two things:
Try crossflashing the LGs with the ASUS 3.01 and check the speed improvement.
Thanks for doing this!

Yeah, thanks Alex. I personally have 2 x LG BH16NS55's. 1 is fw 1.02 and the other is ASUS 3.02, which is a little bit faster.

As I mentioned in the first post, I am happy to cross-flash to the ASUS firmware for customers on request. I just thought it'd be nice to give everone the choice when purchasing!!

What are the benefits of cross flashing the drive with the ASUS firmware?

Hi cladinshadows85,

The ASUS firmware makes the drive a little bit faster.

[jonghotti]

Or 25% faster.

[MartyMcNuts]

Or 25% faster.

Not quite! I'd say about 15% faster. I've ripped the same UHD on both of my drives as a test and the ASUS firmware was approx 6 minutes faster.

[jonghotti]

Same drive/same disc with LG firmware then same/same crossflashed to ASUS?

[MartyMcNuts]

2 x LG BH16NS55's. One with LG 1.02 and the other with ASUS 3.02. Same UHD disc.

Thanks I'll email you
