post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I want an optical drive that could do pretty much “everything”
Should I buy the LG Super Multi Blue Internal 14x Blu-ray Disc Rewriter BH14NS40 ?
Thank you in advance.

The LG WH14NS40 is much cheaper than the LG BH14NS40, and seems comparable in features.

I'd lean towards the LG WH14NS40 instead.

I see you edited you post to remove some of the confusion. thumb.gif

What's the difference between the WH14NS40 and the BH14NS40 ?
post #6 of 6
According to newegg.com the BH14NS40 has the following additional features:

Half-height Internal Blu-ray Disc Rewriter

Correspond to Serial ATA bus interface (Serial ATA 1.1a)

Buffer Under-run prevention function embedded

Bare media loading

MTBF: 100,000 POH

Vertical and Horizontal installable

I don't see how it is any better than the WH14NS40. The improvements seems to be at the PCB level, and not noticeable to the end user.
