LG 6X WP50NB40 Ultra Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer Bundle with 1 Pack M-DISC BD - Supports M-DISC and BDXL Discs, Mac OS X Compatible (Black, Retail)

I bought this to burn master DVDs and Blu-Ray BD-Rs for video production. I use Windows 10 and DVD Architect. Plugged it in and was Immediately recognized by Win10. This replaces an LG internal BD writer that was about 10 years old. I don't care if the unit can play the disks, I only need it to burn them. Not sure if it is MAC compatible but will update once I find out. I'm a wedding and event videographer. The drive will get a lot of usage. I'm only expecting to get 2 or 3 years out of it. I think when they rate the unit to only be compatible with Win8, they are referring to the free software not the compatibility of the hardware. Mine works great with Win 10. The LG website does not rate this to be Win10 compatible.

I tried many burners. None worked.this one is really working without any complainsGreat pproduct

Pro The unit comes with software for playing Blu-ray discs (nice because good freeware to do so is not that easy to come by). The unit works well with DVDFab ripping software for Blu-ray discs as well as WinX DVD ripping software for DVDs. DVDFab and WinX software were acquired separately as they were not part of this purchase; I only mention them so buyers will know this drive works with those popular software suites.The drawbacks are that this unit requires two USB plugs that are close together for operation. It is also a bit noisy for my liking. I have not tried using the write functions of this drive so I cannot comment on that functionality at this time.

Easy to use, is just plug and start working. Just note if you don’t have any Blu-ray compatible software it won’t work.

I bought this almost a year ago with the intent of backing a lot of old stuff that I was just not quite ready to of. I am finally getting around to using it and I have found that about 1/3 of the time when I insert a disk it starts making a grinding noise. When I investigate the disc I see grinding marks on it. This is a picture of a disc I just made the day before (with a different writer) and was verifying. Now the disc is unreadable. Wish I could return it at this point. Now Ill need to buy a different one and test it sooner.

I have never dealt with more frustrating software. After updating it to try and get it to work (which has to be done manually, in 2022), it won't even run.The drive itself is great, but I wasted $30 on software that is not only like 7 versions out of date, but also just doesn't even work.

High quality product. Have never had any problems with any of these Slim portable writers. Simple USB plug-and-play devices that don't require the installation of any software drivers. Worth the price.
