Aside from some issues with Millenniata's M-DISC media, LG's new portable Blu-ray Disc writer performed as expected throughout most of our tests. The BP40NS20 turned in some relatively good times when writing to BD-R and BD-R DL media and was able to read Blu-ray Discs at speeds as high as 6x. The drive also did reasonably well in our CD and DVD read tests. While its seek times were a little higher than I would have liked, it read CD's at speeds as high at 24x and single layer DVD's at 8x. Writing CD's and DVD's wasn't a problem for the BP40NS20 either. For a portable drive, it turned in some respectable times and the writing quality was fairly good for the most part.
