ASUS BD-12D1S-U external drive with pioneer bdr-209

[figdc]

Hi,

I'm new to flashing drives and am reading a lot of conflicting information about my drive specifically. I have an Asus BD-12D1S-U external drive that contains a pioneer bdr-209. Is it at all possible to flash or cross flash this drive to work with UHD discs?

Hi,

I have the same drive in the ASUS enclosure, but mine is a little old. I removed the drive from the enclosure and connected it directly to SATA to hopefully make flashing easier, but I can easily add it back.

Here is the Makemkv info for my drive:
