[qanda]This thread is about the BenQ DW1655. Click here to see full specs[/qanda]I broached this subject about a year ago, but I just wanted to follow up to see if there have been any new developments:
Is there any way to get a BenQ DW1655 internal burner to run at UDMA Mode 4 rather than UDMA Mode 2, such as a firmware upgrade or some other firmware I can use to cross-flash it? BenQ’s product guide (ftp://12.145.38.159/dvd-rw%2Fdatasheets%2Fprg_storage_200512.pdf) indicates that the DW1655 can operate at both Ultra DMA 66 and 100, but my drive came with firmware version BCGB, which I believe limits it to the slower speed. I seem to recall reading something about cross-flashing a DW1655 internal burner with the firmware for a DW1655 external burner to achieve UDMA Mode 4, but I may have just been dreaming…
Thanks.
