Burning BD-R Disc At 14x With LG BH14LS48

[Ian]

The LG BH14LS48 has arrived in the 'Labs and things are looking promising so far. This drive is FAST. Burns 25GB in less than 9 minutes using Sony 6x BD-R media.

OOOH, starting to get like when the faster DVD burners started finally showing up and it no longer to forever, or cost a lot, to burn good disks quickly

I'm not as bleeding edge as I used to be. I'll probably hold off a bit.

so, does that just go for processors?

[Ian]

lol.. okay, you got me there. I'm still bleeding edge when it comes to some things.

[Dartman]

Same here I stay a bit back on CPU's and things as it saves me a lot of money and after some time the packages tend to be iromed out and stable.
Then there's the fact I don't have the money laying around I used to so it has to be reasonably cheap for me to play as well...

[Ian]

I don't game as much on my PC as I used to so I tend to upgrade when I need a new technology like SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, etc.

I'll probably upgrade again when Thunderbolt starts showing up on something other than a Mac.

All kidding aside, the LG BH14LS48 sounds pretty hot. I'm still getting along fine with DVDs, but maybe it's time to start thinking about Blu-ray. When does this unit become available? And are you doing a review?

[Ian]

The BH14NS48 isn't available in the US yet but the BH14NS40 is shipping now. It's not really clear what the difference is between it and the BH14NS48. For all I know, its just the bezel.

The BH14NS48 is next in my review queue. I have another drive I need to finish up first.

Loving the new drive bezel design very minimalistic. Excellect burn results too. Great thx Ian you made my 12x LG BD Burner look like crap in my eyes.

ps. and as you can tell I have no problem spending that money on all parts in my computer. thx to the air force and the american tax payers paying my salary

pps. being married in the military and overseas isn't a bad way to get that paper. ya thats right I forgot to tell the forums. got married last october

[Ian]

Congrats on getting married hox. I take it the wife is okay with you spending your salary on computer stuff? I always tell my wife it could be worse.

Wait til I post some results with LG's new 16x BD burner.

well lets just say she keeps me grounded on my finances, she's been a blessing. But she understands that I like to have the top shit from time to time. And she loves having a uber nerd in the house 24/7. Nothing is ever broke, slow or old in the house and she appreciates it.
