Review on πŸ“€ LG WH16NS40 16X Blu-ray BDXL DVD CD Internal Burner Drive Bundle with Bonus 25GB M-DISC BD + SATA Cable + Mounting Screws by Ha Joon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

As I installed it, I immediately downloaded and uploaded the latest firmware from the LG offsite (v1.03) I do not understand what other unsubscribers are talking about (not only here). The tray slides out smoothly and quietly, at normal speed, as in any other drive, there is no clang or rattle at all. I spent half a day writing discs, the drive was a little warm, I did not find any overheating. Verbatim BD-R LTH recorded normally, without errors (although they complain here that they allegedly do not write).

Pros
  • Quiet, barely audible during DVD and BD reading, much less noise during recording than DVDRAM from the same company. The blue LED looks prettier than the old yellow-green ones. The front panel is not the same as in the photo (were there such at all?), but flat, black, without unnecessary inscriptions, there is only the Blu-ray Disc logo on the tray. The drive itself is short, it will fit into any, even the most compact case (barebon/mITX) On the very first day after the purchase, I recorded 3 regular and 1 two-layer BD-R, the usual writes in 12 minutes, the double - somewhere around 25 minutes, does not heat up, does not stink of burning plastic (DVDRAM stank the first 2 burns, then weathered), rewrote 1 DVD+RW and 1 CD-RW - no errors/crashes despite disc scratches (no longer new).
