5.0 out of 5 starsNot Riplocked! Wonderful Drive
By Pat on December 27, 2012
Verified Purchase
I'm not using this drive for burning just yet. I'm ripping my Blu collection to my harddrive and using Handbrake to compress them to ~4GB files for my XBMC media server. In the past I used my laptops built in blu-ray reader to rip the disks, but it was locked at 2X and it took over an hour to rip a disk. I had to change something so I bought this and put it in my HTPC.

WOW. I ripped a 22 GB blu using MakeMKV in 9 minutes. That's a 22GB file in 9 minutes. It topped out at around 11X at nearly 40MB/s. I would say an average read rate of 30-33MB/s would be correct. It seems impossible to find this kind of information on the net about the ripping capabilities of these drives so I just wanted to let people know that it rips FAST. I love it and I am super happy with it. It ripped a 40+GB file in around 27 minutes.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Drive - Beware of Firmware Level
By Jon Kreisler VINE VOICE on March 6, 2013
This is a great Blu-Ray writer. Good value too. However, beware of the firmware level. If the drive you receive, as mine was, has firmware level 1.00, you WILL need a firmware upgrade. As of this writing, the latest version is 1.01 (April 2013). With the older firmware, the drive cannot write any DL, TL or QL media. The firmware update is available as a download from the LG support site. However, it is only available as a Windows executable. Mac users will need to be running Windows under BootCamp. (It will not work under Parallels or VMWare Fusion. The executable may start, but it will never complete the flash process.) If you can't upgrade the firmware yourself, you can exchange the drive with LG under the terms of their warranty. However, LG may send you a refurbished drive to replace your new one. Also note, Mac does not natively support writing (burning) to Blu-Ray drives, or playing movies; only for reading data discs. You will need third-party software. Toast Titanium with the Blu-Ray plugin does a great job of burning BD-R and BD-RE discs. There are a number of good programs for playing Blu-Ray movies on your Mac.

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic Writer - Burns anything!
By Peter Brockie on December 23, 2012
I got this - well, asked my wife to get me it as an early Christmas gift - to replace the cheaply made Blu-Ray USB External Player DVDRW I had picked up a while ago which stopped reading CDs/DVDs and was having issues with Blu-ray discs. I'm currently limited to 6-7x max as my system is only USB 2.0. I currently have the drive in a Vantec USA NexStar DX External 5.25-Inch Optical Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 External Interface Optical Drives 14700365 (NST-530S3-BK) so I can take advantage of more speed when I upgrade my system.

This drive has been rock solid so far, reading Blu-rays around 3.5x-7x (modern drives ramp up in speed as they get to the outside of the disc). The aforementioned drive started at ~0.7x and topped out at 3-ish. Both using the same USB 2.0 connection. UPDATE: I've since switched to a desktop and installed drive directly without the USB limitation and the speed has increased nicely.

This drive will pretty much burn any type of disc on the market. Aside from the usual CD/DVD assortments, M-Discs (which are special DVD+Rs designed to last 1000 years), it'll burn Bly-ray discs and re-writeable ones - including the massive 128 GB re-writeable BDXL discs (which are about $99 a disc right now!). The only thing it can't do is LightScribe, which is a bit of a shame but it might simply be incompatible with the different laser used for burning the M-Discs.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsworks as expected
By RayW on May 4, 2013
Verified Purchase
it is noted that this does NOT come with any software, so if you are going to watch blu ray disks, or rip them, you will need tools. if you are proficient on the PC and can handle MakeMKV and Handbrake, this is fine. If you just want to watch movies, buy the version including software. Windows Media Player will not play these. VLC 'usually' will.

5.0 out of 5 starsFlawless on the Mac!
By Lawrance on December 23, 2012
I bought this drive to consolidate my DVD backups and reduce my disc collection by a whopping 80%! I found the drive for a better price on a site with an egg in the name. I put this drive in a Vantec USA NexStar DX External USB 3.0 Enclosure which I highly recommend. (See user photos above.) My computer is a 3 year old MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and I use Toast 11 with the Blu Ray add-on for my burning software. I use the Verbatim 97457 25 GB 6x Blu-ray Single Layer Recordable Discs. So far I've burned about 6 disc's with zero verified disc failures. I've read about 20 DVD backup discs without error and I can copy all 4.7 GB onto my computer in about 6 minutes. My computer is limited to USB 2. I expect the speed to be faster when I upgrade my computer to USB 3.

So far I'm very happy with this drive. It been flawless with reading and writing. It does get quite loud when it spools up to full speed but no louder than any other optical drive I've used. The actual hardware burning is the fastest part of the burn process for me. I encrypt my disc's which take forever (about an hour) since it's 25 GB at a time! The physical burning currently takes about 22 minutes and the verification process takes another 15-20 minutes. This is on an older computer with USB 2. I expect my speeds to improve when I update my computer. Your mileage will vary greatly depending on your system.

The combination of enclosure / drive / software has been flawless! It's a true plug and play scenario on the Mac platform. No software drivers needed. All the hardware and software play nice and I've never once had a single issue with drives not being found or discs not being able to be written or read. Everything works exactly as it should.
