Bottom Line
The LG 6x BP50NB40 Ultra Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer excels as a reliable external Blu-ray reader, particularly if you're into ripping PS3 games or digitizing media collections. However, be prepared to ditch the included cable for a better quality one and always plug it directly into a powered USB 3.0 port to avoid power-related hiccups. If you want actual Blu-ray burning capabilities, this isn’t your go-to, but for playing, ripping, and backing up discs, it’s a strong contender. For seamless, powered connectivity and performance, this device definitely earns a recommendation from us.
