Still not getting help with this

[Thedoctor101]

Someone told me to go for either the lg wh14ns40 or 16ns40 and no one has been able to give me a clear answer on this or help me find the right one.

I am highly confused with this as if I go to amazon I see that second drive I posted in the pictures saying it is either a wh14ns40 or a 16ns40 but how can they both be the same drive when they look different when some people say one is a bad one and all that and one guy on tomshardware said that the second one was a uh12ns30 but I see pics on pcpartpicker and amazon under a wh14ns40 that looks just like it so can anyone help me find the right one?

I really don't understand your question, but I have an Asus and I love it.

Let me ask you this. Do you honestly need a blu-ray drive in your computer? If not, then it could be taken off.

If you do, which one is up to you. Looking at the links, I will go with this http://a.co/gn5kl01 ...has nearly 5 stars, and it is shipped AND sold from Amazon, which is always a plus.

1)it just a product image
2)make sure you either buy from newegg or amazon, not some 3rd party seller

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Thedoctor101 : "Optical drive confusion"

https://m.imgur.com/lrIxhIv these are apparently both a lg wh16ns40 but read and write blh rag discs as well with DVD/CD so ivam wk seeing why they have different looks and which I need to look for because I am getting people amazon saying that the one on bottom is the "real" one and this is irritating me that there are two different drives with the same name

What the model name on the actual drive.
Looks like a UH12NS30

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Dogsparky : "Lg wh16ns40 confusion"

I see some posts on amazon and on here when I looking up either the lg wh14ns40 and the lg wh16ns40 optical drives but I see the pictures of something different that look like this thaybis apparently the "real one" https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=9SIA7252W34113 And others that look like this https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16827136269
So if anyone can help me find the "real one" thank you in advanced and if you have any reccomendations of a optical drive that can play, blu rays,CD's,DVD's,and burn to CD's, and DVD's I don't mind if it can't burn blue ray I will never really do that at all

Oh yeah, there is one more thing to consider. Which ever Blu Ray drive you get, you will need to buy software for it. he software is WAAYYY more expensive than the Blu Ray drive.
