    I've got a BenQ DW1640 model BSJB and have never updated it with any firmware since I've bought it 3 years ago.

    I've had lots of problems with burns lately. My Urner is going at a snail pace!

    Is there new firmware I should have and if so then where do I get it?

    Thank you!

    Yeah you definitely need a firmware update - you're quite a few behind.
    Here's the latest - BSRB.

    Check your DMA mode too - sounds like it may be in PIO mode. Here's a guide

    Thanks!

    Is there another link to the firmware though? The BenQ link was dead.

    I have found firmware BSLB is the best for this drive. Just an opinion.
