Player is falsely advertised as 8x BD read/write LG web site lists this drive as 6x BD read/write

I'm not removing any stars as the drive works very well and it is not LGs' fault that the seller falsely advertised BD read and write speeds.

Pretty standard stuff these days, but the drive was easy pull apart and put in my HP8560w. Put it through its paces with Nero and have not had a single issue.

Simple to install and most of all its quiet. I paired it with a retail copy of PowerDVD 12 Ultra. I am very pleased.

I put this in my high performance MSI (GT70) Whitebook Barebone 17.3" Gaming Laptop MSI 937-176262-072 17.3 inch Intel HM77/ GeForce GTX 675MX/ DVD±RW/ Notebook Barebone. It is noisy when first loading up the disc, but quiets down once "play" starts. It whines a little too when at speed when burning Blu-rays. However, I just rip movies to ISO, MKV, etc. and mount them on "Virtual Clone" virtual drives, and noise is avoided. Plus, playing movies via any drive eats a lot of battery, and you can lengthen the drive's life by mounting disc images from your HDD . As far as quality, I have four LG Blu-ray Burners (the oldest is 5 yrs. old) and they are all still working fine. I do upgrade their Firmware when updates come out. I'm burning with 4X speed on 6X BD-50 & 6X BD-25 media without issue. I have the BT20N Paired with an Intel Core I7 Extreme 3920XM, the 960 Cuda Cores of the GTX 675MX, an SSD, and 16GB DDR3 1600. My Laptop tears through video encoding tasks, and the LG BT20N is not a weak link in the chain.

Purchased this drive for $100 on Jan. 19th, 2013, as an upgrade for a MSI GE60-0NC laptop.

The Short Version: This drive works. I have successfully played, burned, and ripped DVD and Blu-ray as well as general use (games, music, data, etc.) Minus one star for the issues listed below; I would purchase this drive again.

The Long Version:
It must be said up front, this purchase includes the drive ONLY. There is not software, no manual, no drivers, no....anything. Drivers auto-installed with Windows 7 Pro without issue.

All Blu-ray drives require second party or manufacturer software to play ANY Blu-ray movies; Windows does NOT support Blu-ray AT ALL. There are only a handful of free solutions to Blu-ray playback, and that may be overly generous. Unless you are at least "experienced" with finding free software solutions on the internet, you WILL pay someone for their program. This may be the best route anyway. For information purposes ONLY: Pot Player has worked for me but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

It does include a front bezel as the picture indicates, (other budget drives do not) but instead of just clipping on it was glued on one tab. I had to break one of the tabs to remove it before replacing it with the laptop bezel. Not a big deal unless you need the original bezel later.

I have had a few issues since install. I have not sorted out the cause as of yet. It has "dissappeared" a few times but this may be a SATA issue with Windows and not a drive problem.

This is an LG drive "technically." It does appear on LG's product page, but it is actually manufactured by H-L, a Hitachi/LG joint venture. Just FYI.

I managed to find this drive on a sale that I thought was too good to be true. Got it in the mail and attached a conversion cable to get the micro sata to a normal sata and a 4 pin molex and then used a usb to sata adaptor and connected it up to my desktop. Reads Blurays, dvds, and cds quickly and quietly.

I put this in a Lenovo W520. It was very easy to change the faceplate so it looks like the factory drive and works perfectly. It didn't have the software with it but they offer a free software to get you watching movies. I tried installing the software that came with this drive which I also bought. LG Electronics BH14NS40. It did install some of the software and like I mentioned on that review they even update the free software. Every Company in the past that I have gotten free software never offered free updates. I will only buy LG drives from here on out.

Pretty slow - speed drops to single KB/sec value. Expected much better performance. It did fit to my Asus laptop so it does serve the purpose I guess.
