Warranty: One Year Review: This is the drive for backing up your 4K UHD discs - If you've been trying to back up your UHD/4K discs, you have probably already found out that the BR drives you have previously used to back up your HD BluRay discs fail at least half the time. When I first got into UHD/4K, I tried using my trusty LG Electronics WH16NS40 drives to rip them. I'd ripped literally hundreds of BluRay discs with them without issue. Apparently, UHD discs are a whole different beast. I thought my old drives were failing. Reasonable assumption as I'd literally ripped hundreds of discs. So I bought a new pair of LG Electronics WH16NS40 drives and flashed them appropriately. Check out the makemkv forums, if you haven't already. Nope, same issue. I'd read that the BU40N is the gold standard for ripping discs. At twice the price of a normal BR drive, plus the cost of the drive bay adapter to house the drive in a standard PC case, it's quite an investment. By the way, you want the Icy Dock adapter, here: https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B0756MZTPG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 After flashing the firmware appropriately, I can rip 4K discs with about a 95% success rate. Out of about 20 discs I've ripped so far I've only had one failure, which may or may not be due to the disc itself being damaged. So far I'm very happy with this purchase. Working great. Buy once, cry once. Review: Perfect fit for an old laptop! Works fantastic with MakeMKV - Got this for my monster ThinkPad T440P specifically so I could watch BluRays on-the-go. Sounds like a weird, not-often scenario, but having the additional ability to use BluRay disks on something other than my desktop or PS4 is great. The drive is libredrive compatible, so it can be flashed to unlock the R/W speeds and other features for use with MakeMKV. I was able to confirm the drive works under Windows 10, Linux Mint and MacOS Ventura. VLC is able to open and play BluRays as well with the right settings! I will say the ONLY thing that I dislike about the drive is that it feels a bit flimsy compared to the stock CD/DVD drive from the T440P. Not a huge deal, just something you notice when opening and closing the tray. ## Features - Ultra Slim Design: Fits perfectly into slim computers with a height of just 9.5mm - UHD 4K Blu-ray Support: Enables playback and recording of stunning 4K Ultra HD content - SATA 3.0 Interface: Ensures fast data transfer rates for smooth operation - 6X Blu-ray Read Speed: Quickly loads your favorite Blu-ray movies and games - Durable Plastic Construction: Built to last with a robust, lightweight plastic body ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BSF41VW | | Additional Features | Blu Ray Disc | | Best Sellers Rank | #4 in Internal Blu-ray Drives | | Brand | H L Data Storage | | Built-In Media | Drive, Warranty | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 2 | | Compatible Devices | Most PCs with SATA interface and Blu-ray support | | Connectivity Technology | Serial ATA | | Customer Package Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 163 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 gigabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Form Factor | Slim | | Hardware Interface | SATA 3.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Manufacturer | HLDS | | Media Speed | 6x | | Mfr Part Number | BU40N | | Model Name | Ultra Slim 9.5mm UHD 4K Blu-ray SATA 3.0 GB/s Optical Drive | | Model Number | BU40N | | Operating System | Possibly Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP | | Optical Storage Read Speed | 6X Blu-Ray | | Optical Storage Write Speed | 6x | | Read Speed | 36 megabytes_per_second | | Special Feature | Blu Ray Disc | | Specific Uses For Product | Playing, recording, and transferring UHD 4K Blu-ray content on PC | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** H L Data Storage - **Hardware Interface:** SATA 3.0 Gb/s - **Optical Storage Read Speed:** 6X Blu-Ray - **Optical Storage Write Speed:** 6x - **Special Feature:** Blu Ray Disc ## Images ![HLDS BU40N Ultra Slim 9.5mm UHD 4K Blu-ray SATA 3.0 GB/s Optical Drive for PC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OY2lQnhZL.jpg) ![HLDS BU40N Ultra Slim 9.5mm UHD 4K Blu-ray SATA 3.0 GB/s Optical Drive for PC - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IdQGzlBTL.jpg) ![HLDS BU40N Ultra Slim 9.5mm UHD 4K Blu-ray SATA 3.0 GB/s Optical Drive for PC - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Uv4MJKg8L.jpg) ![HLDS BU40N Ultra Slim 9.5mm UHD 4K Blu-ray SATA 3.0 GB/s Optical Drive for PC - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/410vuiB4TEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on Lenovo Ideapad 330 and 320?** A: If you are looking for a 4k dvd player for your laptop, most probably not. Maybe Blue Ray movies. Those laptops are not fit to play 4k movies. It's not a fault on the player, or the software that you may be using. It's on the Lenovo equipment specs. They do not accept systems that work with the HDR parameter. Simply because Lenovo doesn't provide for it. You may use a regular 9.0mm dvd player and burner with them. Hope this info can help you make your choice! **Q: I have a dell precision m4700 will this blu-ray drive work with the dell precision m4700** A: If your device supports 9.5mm slim drives this should work. The device manual should specify the compatibility. **Q: Will this work with a dell inspiron w/win 10?** A: If your device supports 9.5mm slim drives this should work. The device manual should specify the compatibility. **Q: Will this work on a dell latitude 7404?** A: It should, I'm using it on a dell Inspiron 7506, and it works great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the drive for backing up your 4K UHD discs *by C***O on July 28, 2024* If you've been trying to back up your UHD/4K discs, you have probably already found out that the BR drives you have previously used to back up your HD BluRay discs fail at least half the time.

Since this is SATA and it fits nice it works with the largest pain in the ass ever, Windows 11. Installed ina Dell 3020. ## Frequently Bought Together - HLDS BU40N Ultra Slim 9.5mm UHD 4K Blu-ray SATA 3.0 GB/s Optical Drive for PC - OWC Slim Optical Drive Enclosure --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/81922094-hlds-bu40n-ultra-slim-9-5mm-uhd-4k-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/81922094-hlds-bu40n-ultra-slim-9-5mm-uhd-4k-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
