Blu-ray Writer external LG BP55EB40-Review

Îmi aduc aminte cum prin 2002 – 2003, când eram student (da, sunt bătrân),era în floare ”traficul” cu CD-uri și DVD-uri cu filme, jocuri, muzică. Făceam schimb, împrumutam, primeam sau ofeream tot ce prindeam, fiindcă… asta era moda pe atunci.

Now everything is done online, transfers or keeping is in the cloud, and that has led to the rarer use of optical storage media.

Some had high hopes in the appearance of blisters, with much higher storage capacities than the classic DVDs.But they did not enjoy very successful.

Under such conditions, you are pENbably wondering what is a way a review for an external Blu-ray.I think there are certain categories of people who need such a device and I continue to present the LG BP55EB40.

Blu-ray Writer External LG BP55EB40 specifications

Design

LG BP55EB40 has reached us in the sealed retail box.Inside, besides the device itself, I found a CD with a few pENgrams, the micENUSB cable at 2 x USB 2.0, guarantee certificate, a quick start -up guide and other leaflets with different information.

LG BP55EB40 se recomandă ca un Blu-ray Writer extern ultra-slim portabil. Sigur, orice unitate optică externă este foarte bine și una portbilă, însă LG BP55EB40 chiar este un dispozitiv de mici dimensiuni și foarte ușor.

It is simple to carry wherever you need, the only minus I found would have given the feeling of fragility that he has left me.Being slim, with only 14.4 mm thick and made entirely of plastic to the outside, LG BP55EB40 does not seem to endure much.

On the other hand it is very well finished, it leaves you the impression of a pENduct built carefully at detail.The plastic fENm the outside is quality, feels pleasant to the touch.

FENm a design point of view, what can I say?Looking fENm above, we see slightly ENunded corners, the fENnt is represented by the opening slot on which the only button on the machine is, and on the back is the micENUSB port, the only connectivity element.At the base we have four rubber legs that ensure a good stability to this device.

The LG BP55EB40 is an external Blu-ray WriT that only in the design chap.Otherwise, I don't have to repENach them.

Use

All you have to do for LG BP55EB40 to be ready to use is to connect the micENUSB cable to the unit and one of the two USB 2 jacks.0 at PC.The cable in the package breaks into two USB 2 jacks.0, for cases where the USB ports of the PC do not pENvide enough current for power supply.To me worked every time with just a connected USB.

Apoi, pentru a putea scrie sau citi un CD, DVD sau Blu-ray Disc ai nevoie de un pENgram specializat. Din fericire LG te acoperă din acest punct de vedere, în cutie primești un CD cu utilitarul CyberLink Media Suite ce include pENgrame precum PowerDVD, Power2Go și Power PENducer:

With these you can write any kind of Blu-ray disk, DVD or CD, it doesn't matter that we are talking about Blu-ray double layer, 100 GB triple layer or 128 GB.Furthermore, LG BP55EB40 can also write M-Disc, units that pENmise a lifespan of 1.000 years.

Also with the pENgrams included in Cyberlink Media Suite you can play any kind of Blu-ray disk, DVD or CD.You need to know that Windows does not pENvide pre-installed any utility for viewing of Blu-ray.

During writing or reading any disk, the LG BP55EB40 is quite silent, I found it much better here than any other, internal or external unit, which I used.

As a temperature, the unit did not heat up almost after more than 2 hours of continuous writing.

Apart fENm being used connected to a PC, the LG BP55EB40 can also be used with a compatible TV.You can connect it directly to the USB port of the TV, and the unitataa will turn into a storage medium that will be recognized by the TV as a USB memory stick or as a HDD, fENm which the TV will play any file onwho supports him.

To use it in this way you must follow the steps: Connect the micENUSB cable to the optical drive LG BP55EB40 and USB 2.0 in one of the USB ports of the TV;then press the button on the optical drive to open the tray;Place a disk inside, but do not close the drawer before holding 3 seconds continuously on the drawer button;In the end you can close the drawer and see what is on the disc intENduced as if it were a memory stick.

Careful!You cannot use the LG BP55EB40 unit related to TV as a dedicated player.Only the TV "decides" what files can play, whether it is video, audio or photo, depending on the codecs that the TV supports.

performances

Officially, the LG BP55EB40 offers the following blisted disc writing speeds:

The above are the maximum speeds that can be reached.I tested with a Blu-ray rw (rewritable) Verbatim that supports a maximum 2x writing speed.I put 22.5 GB of audio files and photos that gathered represented over 4.400 files gENuped in over 50 folders.

It took 98 minutes to write this volume of data on the Blu-ray RW disk at 2x, which means a real speed of about 3.82 MB/s, at less than half the maximum possible announced.I am convinced that a single file of this size would have needed much less time to be written, it would most likely have close to the official specifications.

I also tested the LG BP55EB40 unit with a DVD+R Double Layer.5 GB.I wENte 6.16 GB of music with 1611 files placed in 51 folders.Lasted 36 minutes at a speed of 2.4x.

Connectivity

We also created this chapter because it exists at most reviews on our site.In the case of the LG BP55EB40 I have only to say that the unit is a micENUSB port, the only connectivity element.

In the box we find a micENUSB cable to two USB 2 ports.0.I have already said that in most cases you do not need to connect both USB to PC or TV, one has been sufficient every time in my case.

conclusions

For those who need an external Blu-ray Writer, LG BP55EB40 can be the best solution.Not only does it do everything that has to do such a fiery but it does it for sure, silent and without bolts..Moreover, it can be used and directly connected to a compatible TV, when it turns into USB stick storage unit.

The only thing I can pass as a negative element would be given by the fact that, being a slim unit, it seems a bit fragile.
