LG Electronics 14x Internal BDXL Blu-Ray Burner Rewriter WH14NS40 - Bulk Drive with Software - Black

Customer Reviews. 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 8-10 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.
