## Description

LG WP50NB40 - disk drive - bdxl - 6x2x6x - USB 2.0 - external

Review: Writes 50GB BD Disks - not fast but without errors - This unit replace an identical one that worked for many years, but started having errors. The prior version of this BD disk writer had been used for many years to make backup disks of important documents that we store in a safe deposit box at our bank. This replacement model writes data disks without errors. It is not high speed, but that is why it can write over 100,000 data files in one copy job without errors. It is important to use two USB ports to provide sufficient power without errors, I find that a USB 3 link for the data port and a USB wall charger for extra power works best. Do NOT install or use the software that is included with the device. Use the built-in driver and disk writing app on your PC/laptop for writing and reading disks.
Review: Good for Physical media hoarders - If you're a physical media person looking to backup and read your discs, this is a great drive.. completed a backup of all my media with this and it was painless... the size makes it easy to sit on my desk under my monitor and doesn't take up much room. The Compatibility (after a little work with some updates) with all of my media let me get all of my backups done.
