I'd be careful upgrading to the latest firmware on this drive. Do a Google on "GWA-4083B". A few people have had problems after upgrading to 1.19.

Good luck,

Rich

Did you use a program to retrieve those details concerning your drive? If not, if you use a program that can identify its details, you can maybe find out some more information. I know Nero has something. I think DVDInfoPro can give you some details too.
