Just replaced my dead Blu-Ray burner with an LG

I am going to make a bet with myself that this drive will die within six months.  I’ll report back in six months if the drive is still working and by working I mean being able to read disks properly. I hadn’t seen a reputable optical disk drive/burner since the days when Plextor still made […]
