After my good old LiteOn 401S (@811S) finally died today, I got myself a Philips DVDR1628K (shows up as DVDR1648P1 in Windows).

I wonder if it's possible to flash the latest DW1640 firmware to this drive, since it supports more media and SolidBurn.
The chipset of the DVDR1628 seems to be the same as the ones in BenQ DW1640 and Plextor PX-740.
Unfortunately, Philips announced that SolidBurn will first be introduced with firmware p2.0.
