LG Electronics 6X Blu Ray Writer 8X DVD Writer +/- RW USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable with M-DISC Support (Black) WP50NB40

Excellent product !

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

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.

Very happy with this! Price is little high ($130~ this year from a reputable seller on here). Was able to get this thing flashed twice to make it work using MakeMKV and SDFtool Flasher. It’s annoying since physical media is being obsolete, not even sure why the drives are being discontinued. However, I’m surprised by the manufacture date being much recent. I can’t confirm nor deny that it may be legit but it works on blu-rays! While ripping the Blu-ray Discs may be on the slow side, it’s easy to make time go by quicker just by doing something else while you wait. Make sure to connect EVERYTHING, dont just plug into one USB, plug all of the cables.
