LG 6x WP50NB40 External Portable Slim Blu-ray Burner with Cyberlink Burning Software - Supports M-DISC and BDXL Discs (Retail Box)

So far so good. Can backup all media including 4k with an firmware update.

Bundled Sofware is 7 Major versions outdated. The drive is noisy on reading disks with it's high pitched squeals as it reads disks to the point I am thinking of returning it. It does however do what it is supposed to do

Bought this item because my son has the same item. Works fine for him. I bought, tried to install software (my son didn't install any software) software refused to install four times. Contacted Amazon they contacted LG - said they would come back to me within 48 hours. Okay, then I read through the other customer reviews. My experience was echoed a few times, but alarmingly neither LG or Cyberlink (makers of the software) would take responsibility for the issue. So sending back. If you decide to buy this product hope you have better luck, my son has. UPDATE 19/3/2021 I spoke to Amazon, they contacted LG I spoke to two different people at LG both promised to come back to me within 24 hours... to date no one has.

Incluye su software el cual mejora la calidad de imagen muy nítida de los discos blu-ray, no se traba en lo absoluto muy fluido, recomendado al 100%

You know it's becoming harder and harder to find these external drives made by a company you know and can trust. I paid a little more, but it works as intended with no problems and I feel good about it

***Final Update*** Make MKV and Handbrake = the way to go when you want the best quality ripping. **Further Update** DOES NOT support 4k. **A little bit of an update** Great little device, you can't go wrong, unless your ONLY purpose is to RIP Blu-Rays and want to dish out another couple hundred for an ASUS 6x ripper AND have a CPU that can support that speed. Second counter to negative reviews: The longevity. Don't try to RIP multiple files at once, or yes, your device will last about 2 days. RIP only 1 file at a time. Third counter to negative reviews: Software. To RIP Blu-Rays you have 3 real choices of software: - 1st: Handbrake or VLC These are free but do not support encrypted Blu-Ray movies. - EasyFab Inexpensive for lifetime use, easy to use, simple interface, useful tools. Doesn't do HVEC (x265) encoding which is far superior to x264, doesn't crop videos, doesn't support latest NVIDIA's gimmicky hardware, and doesn't do 4k rips. - DVDFab Feels like pirated software with Wukong ( a Chinese deity that is like a cross between Satan and Loki ) as a logo and a clunky/bloated interface. However, this will encode in x265, does support NVIDIA's gimmicky hardware, does rip 4k, does auto iTunes tagging that is mostly correct, does auto crop that is usually okay, and does bypass any and all encryptions. The problem is, it's Chinese, their terms of service blatantly tells you they will sell your information to shady people, and it's hella expensive at 140 bucks. Best Tool for iTunes Tagging and DVD Rips: Hands down: Aimersoft Ultimate No other tool comes close. This is beyond comparison the best bang for the buck video software that is on the market. Excellent tools, useful options, clean interface, good support, and inexpensive for what you get. Just make sure you set in the preferences to convert only 1 file at a time, if you are RIPPING a DVD. Best video players for playing Blu-Rays - VLC is the open-source one that everyone loves - Gom is the one I like. Gom has annoying ads, but more than makes up for it in useful tools, customization and out-of-the box support for video and audio formats. A firewall solved my ad problem with Gom.

Ordered this as they're getting hard to find in the wild, what with basically every manufacturer ditching optical drives. I have a huge movie collection, so bought this in order to have a back up drive in case my primary ones fail. It was still the suggested/expected price instead of the sky-high prices you see for these, so I jumped on the opportunity. I hadn't really looked into this drive in detail other than knowing it could be used for 4k discs once re-flashed (which I can confirm), so I was surprised to see that it has a micro USB plug on the drive side; not saying that's a bad thing, just unexpected and seemingly-outdated for a drive manufactured last month (I had to do a double-take that it was that "fresh"!). Seems to connect without issue and work, with 4-6x read speeds being seen during movie rips (this is really the only benchmark I care about). Discs seem to be read and ejected without concern. It's a slim drive, so it feels quite fragile compared to a full-sized equivalent that you'd mount in a computer case, but from my experience units like this can still take a beating, so I expect this to be the case here (although I'll still treat it gently). Zero experience with the write abilities for this drive, as I haven't written to optical media in years.

Mutet nicht sehr haltbar an. Ist ziemlich laut. Bisher funktioniert es gut.
