What customers say about "Features"
LG WP50NB40 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable Blu Ray Writer
- Small, easy to use, easily portable. A great little device.
- It did exactly what I needed it to do. Just plug it in to a USB port and it's ready to go!
- Great drive sound high quality and not like the typical cheap external drive that sounds like a 747 is taking off.
- Device is solid and works well, however, the power is somewhat limited.
- Very quick little drive, fairly quiet. Easy to install and set up. Included software works well.
LG BP50NB40 Blu-ray Rewriter Slim External Drive
- The drive tray opens with an button click. The tray smoothly slides open and closed.
- I purchased this for my computer. It is very convenient as it attached to the USB 2.0 port. Good picture quality.
- So far so good. Hard time finding an external player compatible with Windows 10 but this one seems to work ok.
- The tray is a little flimsy, but I guess that's to be expected for the size of the drive. It does the job though and is relatively quiet.
- Very simple to setup and works great. I am worried on the tray breaking as it is somewhat thin.
