Overview

The LG WP50NB40 Ultra Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer Bundle is designed for users who take data preservation seriously. Supporting both M-DISC and BDXL formats, this drive goes well beyond standard Blu-ray burning by offering archival-grade recording that resists environmental degradation and high-capacity discs that hold up to 128GB of data. The slim, bus-powered design means you can carry it in a laptop bag and connect it with a single Micro USB cable—no power brick required.

Burn speeds top out at 6x for BD-R, 8x for DVD, and 24x for CD, with matching read speeds across those formats. The 4MB buffer with under-run prevention keeps burns stable even when your system is multitasking. Compatible with macOS 10.7.5 and later as well as Windows XP SP3 through Windows 8.1, the drive fits into virtually any existing workflow. The included M-DISC blank disc lets you start archiving important files as soon as the box is open, making this bundle a practical all-in-one solution for optical storage and backup.
