I bought the drive and installed it in a USB enclosure. It has worked great first time, every time. I have burned several Blu-ray discs and DVD's with no problems.

At first I was a little skeptical about how popular Blu-Ray would actually become in comparison to on demand and video streaming directly from the Internet. After buying a stand-alone Blu-Ray player for my large LCD I was rather impressed and decided to buy a burner to create my own movies or backup Blu-Rays. For weeks I had searched through the big department stores and finally came across this LG Blu-Ray burner. After opening the box I was rather surprised to see how simple it was to connect to my PC tower through the supplied SATA cable and mounting screws. I turned on the computer and installed the software that it came with which was adequate as well. I downloaded a program online (from a sly little fox company)that would allow me to de-encrypt the copy protection from Blu-Ray discs to my hard drive and then to the blank Blu-Ray disc, the discs I had were Ritek rated at 4x copy speed. The LG burner was actually able to burn the movie at an even faster speed than the discs were rated. I have had this drive for a couple of weeks and use it all the time to backup movies. It is very fast to read and to burn, while maintaining a quiet rotational sound. I had a stigma about LG having poor build quality but after I realized that Hitachi had partnered with them it only makes sense that they would step up to the plate and begin to perform at a high caliber. This is a great burner and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to back up large amounts of data or HD Blu-Ray movies. It is also very nice to have one drive that is able to burn and read practically every disc format that is available. Now if only the disc could be less expensive... hopefully in a year or so just like DVDs.

The drive was easy to install since I swapped out an existing CD burner. I've had this for a month and have burned DVD-DL, BD-R, and BD-R DLs and everything works like a champ. My limitations are bound by my CPU not being newer.
