Re:This is your DRIVE on BAD Firmware (Score 1)

Having two possible outcomes (broken drive, double layer drive) does not necessarily imply a 50-50 chance in the slightest.

That's like saying gee I should play the powerball today, I have a 50-50 chance of winning since my choices are Play/Not Play. More likely you have what like a .00000000001% chance of winning, which is what I'd probably say your chances of some "magic" firmware actually working to provide extra functionality.
