@Tug,
One other thing, since the *.rpc1.org domain is down, i've been having difficulty finding firmwares, namely the original b4s6 for my drive (i only have the manufacturer's .exe, not the .bin). I wanted to have that around, in case something goes wrong . Does anyone have it, by any chance?

You could always backup your own firmware (B4S6) using LTNFlash. Then you would have it in .bin format. Go to my site, in Tools section, download. There is also a readme for LTNFlash with detailed instructions on how to use.
Could you please send me the B4S6.exe file. Go to my site and use the link to send it to me. I would really appreciate it. . Thanks.
