LG BH12LS38 12X Blu Ray Rewriter SATA Black Lightscribe 3D Playback
Cons:The disk tray mechanisism doesn't seems solid and even feels cheap. I've seen and owned tons of PC drives in my life and this one feels cheaper than most of it.

Pros:I'd say below average for the sounds but not leagues below. If you are planing to buy it for a media center in the living room, go for, you won't notice it. I got it for 79$, unbeatable price for a BD burner.
Comment:
I've made my command on wednesday at 11:30 pm and it arrived promptly on monday, fast as usual with NCIX.BD movies are playing nicely and silently. Disk access is fast. No blank BD disk included in my box (yes, it comes in a box, it's not a OEM). I've seen unboxing of it on Youtube and I was expecting it. It's not a problem, really. I guess it's a SKU or zone issue.

Cons:none so far

Pros:Cheapest Blu-Ray writer I could findNice glossy finishRetail so includes softwareNot too loud
Comment:
Customer wanted a blu-ray writer and this one seems good and is reasonably priced. No coasters so far and it's not as loud as some DVD writers I've bought before while reading.

Cons:None that I have found so far

Pros:Excellent unit at $80, does everything I need it to do.
Comment:
This unit has worked well and the price couldn't be beat. It is working the same as it did the first try I used it (which should be expected given only 3 months have elapsed. When the disk is spinning, it is relatively quiet indicating it is running smooth.

Cons:None.

Pros:Good, solid burner for the price.
Comment:
This drive is on sale quite often, and for 85 bucks. I needed something for mass data backup, and this thing performs like a champ! I have already burned 20 bluray and a few dvd-dl discs in it, and every one is perfect. It is also very quiet, which I'm sure movie watchers will appreciate. I can't vouch for the playback software, it may need to be updated, but as a burner this drive will not let you down. Grab it on sale now!

Cons:color scheme, bundled software

Pros:Bluray r/w, low noise

great drive, nice speeds, low noise, only downsides i found are the styling on the front of the drive won't match many towers, and the drive wouldn't read the bundled software disc.

Comment:
What do you expect from an optical drive these days ? They are all good, well priced, and noise is contained.This is what LG offers us for a Blu-Ray writer. It des the job well. So far, I've used Verbatim single sided blu-ray.

Cons:doesnt overspeed many brands that can be oversped with a pioneer drive.

Pros:quiet, comes with software (water'd down version), lg warehouse located in the gta (warranty exchanges are fast)
Comment:
drive is quiet and good, when it works. backup'd a few bluray movies for watching when on the road, it read them pretty quickly. burn speeds are fast. havent gotten any coasters yet. but just the other day my drive decided to not detect any type of disk that i put it in. seems like the laser on mine died (build date for drive was may 2011) contacted support and they said i can submit a repair request and have my drive exchanged under warranty. i decided to call the LG warehouse in Mississauga and they told me to just bring it in after submitting the repair request instead of waiting for a reply from support as they could access the support ticket system. got my replacement drive really quick and easy (experience may very from person to person).

Pros:Plays and Burns Blu-raysQuiet
Comment:
So far it hasn't produced a bad disc. At $116 I personally thinks it's a little steep but I got it for $76. If you need a Blu-ray player/burner you won't be let down.

Used it to burn some large movies with Sony DVD Architect Pro. No limitation of the drive but with a 25 gig disk you might get to burn 22 gig on it.

Cons:-Maybe just a firmware issue but I find this drive trying to read disks randomly when the try is empty-Gets very loud when ripping music CD's

Pros:-Slick looking-plays blu rays-Silent when play movies
Comment:
My brother bought this for me for Christmas last year. It's a bluray drive, not the fastest compared to a DVD drive but it gets the job done and remains silent when watching movies.

Cons:Would have prefered a matte finish but looks nice anyway

Pros:Got it on sale, inexpensive, does-it-all
Comment:
Got it at 89$, it does it all and seems to do it well, hadn't burnt any Blu Ray yet but it read a blu ray movie seamlessly, streamed DTS-HD MA without a problem (as long as you have an HDMI audio output to an external receiver)I already had a DVD Rewriter from LG, they look almost the same and match pretty nicely on my case.

LG BH12LS38 12X Blu Ray Rewriter SATA Black Lightscribe 3D Playback
Cons: - The box does not neither mention the software version nor what it can play and what not. - You will need to change the 3D/2D in the player, the player plays the new video as per the settings chosen earlier. - It could not play my vc-1 WMV 1080p files.

Pros:Worked great and could play 3D Tron 3D blu-ray fine. The bundled software to play videos is Cyberlink PowerDVD version 9, but had no issues in play 3D.
Comment:
I could install the device, and software easily, and being used to PowerDVD 7 interface the version 9 was a piece of cake. Got the drive in deal for $79.99.Very happy so far with the purchase.
