I have the choice to purchase either of these two blu-ray burners LG WH14NS40 or LG BH16NS40. What I mainly plan to do with it is rip my DVD and blu-ray collection (commercial discs) to my computer, but I will also be burning DVD and blu-ray disks as well. Picked this up to burn my clients videos to blue ray and this is the Unboxing video. This does not come with anything other than just the warranty card and the burner its self. No SATA cable, No.

What People Are Saying
Rated 5 out of 5 by CADcliff from Super Value for the PriceDirect replacement for an old failed DVD drive. Newer technology, faster and quieter. Installation was a breeze and everything functioned flawlessly for me. Outstanding product.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bill07675 from False Advertising!!This ' Blu-Ray' drive states the it is M-Disc compatible! On the front of the drive there is an M-Disc logo! What it doesn't say is that it only supports M-Disc DVDs.Not M-Disc Blu Ray discs!! Why on earth would you make a drive like this? This has been a horrible experience! Now I have to take my computer apart again and make another trip to the store!!! I certainly will not buy an LG drive!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by BobsYourUncle from Good for rippingHave used this to backup my bought Blu-ray disc and CDs. With MakeMKV I can rip my Blu-ray discs in about 20 minutes and with a 33 GB output file. The drive is very quiet in operation and seems to work well. I've not actually burned any discs with it yet, but will start backing up my photos at some point, and it's good to know that the M discs should last longer than standard Blu-rays.

Can the bh16ns40 read the new 4K blu ray discs? I updated the firmware, but does not recognize the disc? I am using power dvd 15 as the software also.

Does LG offer a sata blu ray reader/burner that is supported in MS Windows 10?
yes this is it. Windows is backwards compatible so hardware and software that the system doesn't rely on works fine.
were can i download the drivers for bh16ns40 that correct the issues with windows 7 64bit
You can visit the LG page at http://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-BH16NS40 and navigate to the Software, Firmware and Drivers tab to look for the drivers for the LG Super Multi Blue Internal SATA 16x Blu-ray Disc Rewriter, Model # BH16NS40...^IFV
I am having truoble with windows 10 recognising this drive, it accepts that it is a cd/dvd but will not accept that it is a blu ray player, cyberlink software recognises it but when you come to burn a disk it states that there is no disk in the drive.
uk site does not support BH16NS40 as it is not the uk model. they will not support this version. i am having exact same issues. my drive is less than 6 months old.
Is LG BH16NS40 compatible with windows 10? I have some issues with this unit - Windows is not able to recognize the Blue Ray burner (it doesn't appear in the task manager).
yes this works with windows 10 and works very well .make sure you install the software from the cd supplied .remember all versions of windows just see the dvd as a dvd writer even if its blue-ray writer , i have just bought this writer and its superb it even burned my 4x (25gb) disks at 8 speed and it was so quite and quick....there is a clue to this working well when the documentation says it might not work with other blue ray burning software ,but i have 4 other burning software products installed on my pc and i have burned disks ok with all (all free software i might add)
