Pretty Darn Good, not quite Perfect, almost a 5 star!

Got it as a way to to get my physical DVD/Blu-ray collection on to a NAS device so I could use Plex on the local network

Cons
Has the old USB Micro connection for its USB 2.0 These are not the most robust connector, Speed wise USB 2.0 is fine as the data speed of USB 2 is faster than the max read speed of any physical optical-mechanical drive.

The original Firmware is "Big Studio" Friendly as in there are only so many DVD Region changes available.

Pros
The firmware can be updated/changed. If you don't know how then you should not be attempting this.

With said Firmware it should be able to read UHD Blu-Rays...

I like this Player

good, portable, fast, powerful, Expensive.

These are all the things I look for in a Blu Ray Read Writer, However one of the criteria was not fulfilled which was expensive, but that doesn't matter anyway.

This drive plays anything, DVDs, CDs, CD ROMs, DVD ROMs, HD DVD, Blu Ray, BDXLs. It doesn't even matter if it is regionless, it will just play it anyway.

The only disadvantage of this little thing is that it eats up 2 USB 2.0 Ports on my computer, but then again, what do you expect if you have to supply both power and Data to a computer thing with Servos in it.

Overall ----> GOOD

Who said physical media was dead?

I still collect / buy physical media, Bluray, DVD, Games but I sold my old work station about two years ago and upgraded. My old PC had an LG Bluray Drive in it of which was the perfect workhorse. I was planning on purchasing an external drive for my new build anyway since my new case doesn't allow for a BD Drive to be mounted, plus I wanted my new build to have a clean aesthetic without the noticeable clunky BD Drive.

Read a lot of great reviews on this item, so I though why not jump at it, it's slim and stealthy looking which is what I was looking for in an external drive and it also needed to be silent whilst running.

The march of Progress.

I have many discs, accumulated over many years. My latest computer has no disc drive. I could get one put in, or I could buy this product or another like it. I've found LG products to be good value, so I bought this. It does what it is supposed to without fuss. Installation? Just plug it in. No worries whatever.
