Review on LG Electronics Blu Ray Writer Optical by Alan Sawyer

Received this CD today, sent it in the mail, no box, no packaging, just a CD and a software CD. Anyway, the drive worked to copy 2 of my 4k UHD discs after I patched the firmware (VERY easy these days; it took 2 minutes) but it's been having a lot of disc reading issues lately. This thing is FAST WHEN IT WORKS, although a word of caution, it failed to copy MANY of my new Blu-ray discs, and it smells too, this drive smells like burnt plastic and gunpowder. Nothing against China here, but it smells like Chinese recycled plastic DVD boxes at Walmart, it literally burns your nose and irritates your eyes just to be around. I don't recommend this drive, it rips 4k UHD. and FAST, in some cases almost TWICE as fast as the BU40N, but it's so unreliable that you'll lose all that time and more if you can't read your flawless discs, often right out of the box. Если бы LG могла сделать его таким же надежным, как BU40N, я бы с удовольствием купил еще один, потому что скорость просто нереальная, хотя и тогда, запах ужасный, я бы доплатил, чтобы не жить с бог знает какой химией, которая находится рядом with me. I'm about to return the record, too bad. When it works, it's great, but it's just not the kind of drive you can count on, period. I believe getting a second BU40N is the only way to get the speed and reliability I need.
