LG Electronics LightScribe 10x SATA Blu-ray Combo Internal Drive UH10LS20K - Bulk (Black) An OK Blu Ray Drive

An OK Blu Ray Drive, (What's this?) I have 2 units both work as advertised. The drive is quiet, reads most disks and has been a good performer. Drive comes bundled with all the necessary software to get it up and running.
A fair value for the money.
Very satisfied, (What's this?) It's quiet, it reads quick, plays my Blue Ray DVDs wonderfully. The finish is a bit shiny compared to my Cooler Master chassis, but I can get over that. I used the Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 that came with the drive. Works great on my XP machine.
Reasonably fast but could be more reliable, (What's this?) While it is much faster than my 4x Lite-On BD-ROM reader, there are some spots on some discs where it consistently runs into trouble and errors out where my 4x reader has no problem. It is not all that frequent and I have both drives, so I can always go back to the 4x when that happens, but if you only have this BD-ROM reader you would be stuck. This is probably something that could be fixed with new firmware. As of this review LG has not yet released any updated firmware for this drive. The LiteOn iHAS104 has been 100% reliable with the current firmware, though it is painfully slow being a 4x max drive. Unfortunately there is no 10x Lite-On drive available yet or that is what I would have.

LG Electronics 10X Internal SATA Blu-ray Disc Rewriter WH10LS30 (Black) Perfect, burns and plays everything!

Fantastic perfomance for the money!, I have purchased three of these drives and used them in three different computer projects. The drives have performed perfectly. The drive is a black front internal Blu-ray reader/burner that reads and writes Blu-ray single and dual layer, CD, DVD single layer, DVD Dual Layer in -R and + R formats and it is a very fast SATA interface drive. I used Riplock to modify the drive firmware and it doubled the reading speed on media so that I can read a full Blu-ray Dual Layer disk in about 12 minutes.

I am using Windows 7 as the operating system and the drive installed quickly and the software supplied with the drive worked perfectly. It read every Blu-ray disk I owned. I burn disks using ImgBurn and I am having no issues. I recommend this Blu-ray drive as a good buy and it is priced right.
Nnever used it, but..., A Kid's Review
I couldn't use this product because it was too new for my PC. However, I have heard nothing but good things about this brand and product.
LG BD burner WH10LS30, This is a short and not so sweet review of my LG WH10LS30 BD burner. This LG BD burner quite working within several months of being installed and I did not even bother to seek a replacement under warranty because I was never able to update the firmware or software for this BD, and once it simply quite working that was the end for me because I value reliability over all other attributes. I have just ordered the new 12X Pioneer BDR-206 Blue-ray burner. I should have gone with the very reliable and highly recommended Pioneer brand in the first place but wanted to same a few bucks -- big mistake.
Blue ray and ability to write bluray, (What's this?) Simple hookup-jst put on case bay and hook to sata and your off and running. I have written to -r blueray-ReWrite (rw) and have use imageburn (free on web) and nero 9 burn.
A year later, still works, Well I thought I'd write a review on this thing since I've got some free time. I bought this last year as a black friday deal, though I think I paid the same price for it that's listed here.... but anyway, a year later, it's still holding up just fine. I've had no issues with this drive whatsoever. So if you're considering purchasing this drive, there's nothing to worry about. The performance is to my satisfaction and it's been pretty durable over the past year. Reads and writes just fine and the disc tray never jams up (seems to have been a problem with other previous drives I've owned). Installed without problems and has been easily detected by two biostar motherboards so far (upgraded my older system). 5 stars from me. LG products never seem to give me any trouble.
Do not buy!, This product is not supported by LG and is discontinued. There is no help with it, the drivers, or software that comes with it. The LG website will not even allow you to contact them about it BEWARE!

WARNING - Stay Away,
I was excited to find an LG Blu-ray player/burner for under $100, especially since it had Cyberlink's Blu-ray Disc Suite. I had used older versions of Cyberlink's PowerDVD for many years. Cyberlink is NOT what it used to be.

From the first day, every movie I watched was pixelated, ...like it was some security feature.

Over 3 months, I tried to burn 6 BD Disks. All but one of them failed, ...either with error messages or just freezing for hours.

Then 2 months ago, Cyberlink's programs just stopped playing Blu-ray discs and the program would crash within seconds of the movie starting.

The bottom line is that LG partnered with Cyberlink and MUST ensure that their product is functioning properly. You wouldn't believe the number of people with the exact same problem. When I contacted Cyberlink, they stopped supporting this media version in June 2011. I purchased this drive in Feb. 2011. Cyberlink is offering no help, other than to suggest I spent MORE money and buy another one of their horrible products.

Instead of demanding a resolution from Cyberlink, LG is brushing it off by saying "It's a software problem and not LG's fault". If LG doesn't pressure Cyberlink into honoring their software's reliability, then LG is equally responsible for the drive not doing its job.

I am ashamed of LG's overall response to this widespread problem. Furthermore, stay away from ANYTHING having to do with Cyberlink. They are not the company I loved all those years ago.
Perfect, burns and plays everything!, (What's this?) This thing is perfect for anyone needing a Bluray burner, and ofcourse it reads and burns CD and DVDs. Burns are perfect speeds, reads are perfect speeds, looks really nice, and YES it does have an access light, its a blue circle bulb. Very neat, I love it.
Failure waiting to happen!, I am now on my fourth replacement in a year. I bought it in June. 2010. The drive is, believe it or not, a commercial drive (I sure hope commercial would be of a higher quality than this). You cannot find it on the LG website.

I have to say, that the LG customer service was great. One of the reps slipped and said that they were having a very high level of laser failures in this drive especially since this is rated as a commercial drive. I would have to believe him, from the fiasco I have had to endure.

It is now out of manufacturer's warranty so I got my last replacement from LG about 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, I have a one year warranty extension from American Express, so I still have a year to go on the exended warrant they provide..

When, not if this last drive fails, I will get a refund from American Express and get a different brand of burner.
Works great., (What's this?) I've had this burner for over a year now. No problems and zero maintenance. Great for the price. Would prefer a little faster but not big deal.

ASUS BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS 12X Blu-ray Internal Burner with Disc Encryption, Black ASUS Blu-Ray Burner

bad site, lousy rebate, good drive, (What's this?) I installed this drive in a newly built PC with windows 7. The first problem was with
software installation.
Great Price, No Software to Play Blu Rays, (What's this?) Maybe I was just naive, but I thought that a blu ray drive would come with some sort of software to play blu ray discs. No such luck.
Worked Great While It Worked......, (What's this?) Bought this for my new PC build because of the specs and price. Worked great for a couple weeks then suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. Windows 7 Troubleshooting says the drivers need to be reinstalled but can't find them. I went to the Asus website and tried to download drivers but their download page doesn't function properly. Specifically, it asks you to choose your OS from a dropdown menu but the menu is empty. The website will not allow you to continue without making one choice from a menu of 0 items so you can't proceed. If this is Asus customer service then this will be the last Asus product I buy.

UPDATE: I was able to get the unit working again by restoring my pc to a point before the drive issue occurred. I have had no problems with the product since but I never did receive a reply from Asus Customer Support. So, while I have upgraded the item rating to 3 stars I don't think I could ever suggest buying any Asus product because their Customer Support is non-existant.
Great Blu-ray Burner, (What's this?) I have ripped and burned DVDs and Blu-rays without making a bad one.

When a disc spins-up the sound isn't that loud. My bad Blu-ray burner was a Pioneer and it was much louder.

The only issue I noticed was sometimes ripping a audio cd the drive will make errors when the drive is at it's max speed. Too fix this issue I dropped the speed down to 16x. Firmware version is 1.02 I'm hoping the next firmware update will take care of this error issue.

This is a OEM so no sata cable
This is a great Bluray, (What's this?) No doubts about this at all... only problem is BLURAY SOFTWARE!!! They don't include any player like some other competitors due, yet that shouldn't stop you. The performance is phenominal, it isn't too loud, and it is very quick on my Phenom II X6 with 2gb vid card.

Get this before its 200 dollars or something.
ASUS Blu-Ray Burner, (What's this?) This is a nice drive. It ships as promised and works very well, as advertised. I would suggest the vendor provide better support info and maybe they could include a simple software title, which facilitates blu-ray recording.

Make sure you have the software to use this drive or you'll be using the BD capable drive for slower than necessary DVD writing.
Failed with first blu-ray disk insertion, (What's this?) Failed right out ogf the box, seemed to install fine. The first attempt to read a blu-ray failed at 7%, drive noisy. Bye bye asus, shipped back. Bought a sony optirac and put the same disk in and its reading it much much fast without flaws. No firmware update available on the asus support website.
Not bad for this cheap drive, (What's this?) It takes a while to spin up and read the disc when it's already in the drive but does the job so no complains.
