Jan 2, 2017 - Hi, I brought the LG WH14NS40 Blu-ray drive to work with my Aurora R3 and Windows 7 and it installed fine and ran well. With the help of this. WH14NS40 Blu-ray Writer Optical Drive 14X BDR Three Layer BDXL-R/BDXL RE discs offer 100GB capacity while quad layer BDXL-R discs boast 128GB storage capacity. You can now write up to 128GBs of data on a single quad layer BDXL™ disc which is the equivalent of 27 standard dvds or 5 single layer Blu-ray discs.

I just installed my new LG WH14NS40 Super Blu optical drive. The problem is that while it shows up in Windows, and I can eject the tray from within Windows, it will not recognize any discs I put in, regardless of whether it's a commercial disc or burned disc. This is the first time I have had a drive be recognized by the OS not not read discs.

I am running an Asus P9X79 Pro moherboard, and the drive is plugged into the last available SATA connector on my board, which was one of the Marvell SATA connectors. SSD Caching is not enabled on my board since the SSD Caching connector wasn't used until I plugged in the optical drive. Windows also says the driver is up to date.

It was an OEM model and came with no software. LG's site says not to update the firmware unless the firmware states it fixes problems with it not writing to media, not being recognized by Windows, and other similar things. So what could it be? Would a bad SATA cable be enough to make it seem by Windows but not usable? Is it a chipset update for the motherboard?

You still wont copy disks directly but thats besides the point. First you said you have it plugged into a marvell port then you said its in port used for caching - which would be intel. Please look at your motherbds sata ports, they are all labelled, and tell which specific port this is plugged into please and thank you. Why won't I be able to copy discs directly? My drive software has doing so as an option.

3dvia download. The whole environment is completely secure and you will never face any exploitation of your data.

And on my board, the port used for SSD Caching is a Marvell port (SATA6G_E2). In any case, I plugged the drive into the port that had my original blu-ray multi drive, and it did not work there either. So it looks like the drive itself is a dud. I have put in an RMA request with the retailer to get it exchanged. Hopefully the new one will work.
