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. ## Features - Interface: USB 2.0 - Dimensions (WxDxH): 5.7 in x 6.1 in x 0.6 in - Weight: 9.52 oz ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B011327QXC | | Additional Features | Blu-Ray Disc | | Best Sellers Rank | #3 in External Blu-ray Drives | | Brand | LG | | Built-In Media | USB 2.0 cord, installation disc, quick installation guide documentation | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 4 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | compatible support for Windows 10 | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,400 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1 Gigabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Plastic | | Form Factor | Slim Portable | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 2.0 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.7"L x 6.1"W x 0.6"H | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Manufacturer | LG Electronics | | Media Speed | 6000 | | Mfr Part Number | WP50NB40 | | Model Name | WP50NB40 | | Model Number | WP50NB40 | | Operating System | Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Vista, Windows XP | | Optical Storage Read Speed | 8X DVD-ROM/ 6X BD-ROM/ 24X CD-R/RW/ROM | | Optical Storage Write Speed | 6X BD-R/ 2X BD-RE/ 8X DVD+RW/ 6X DVD-RW/ 5X DVD-RAM/ 24X CD-R/ 16X CD-RW | | Read Speed | 3.6 Megabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Blu-Ray Disc | | Specific Uses For Product | personal, gaming, business | | UPC | 719192634879 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LG - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Optical Storage Read Speed:** 8X DVD-ROM/ 6X BD-ROM/ 24X CD-R/RW/ROM - **Optical Storage Write Speed:** 6X BD-R/ 2X BD-RE/ 8X DVD+RW/ 6X DVD-RW/ 5X DVD-RAM/ 24X CD-R/ 16X CD-RW - **Special Feature:** Blu-Ray Disc ## Images ![LG Electronics BDXL Drive - External, Black (WP50NB40) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Os6QkvPsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Writes 50GB BD Disks - not fast but without errors *by T***T on July 22, 2025* This unit replace an identical one that worked for many years, but started having errors.
