Obviously no one has tried to burn to a BDXL M-Disc. I bought this unit for archiving important files to M-Disc media. First time out the gate with some Verbatim BDXL M-DISC media (100Gb). Only recognized the discs at being 25Gb... upgraded the firmware to V1.02 for "additional media support". Rebooted, then it recognized the media as 100Gb. Tried to burn files to the media. Got an error saying media was not compatible. Called LG Tech Support... They told me the drive only supports single layer BDXL media at 25Gb. Loaded another disc and it was back to only recognizing it as 25Gb media. This thing is a scam with regard to its ability to use M-Disc media. If you are hoping to burn 100Gb M-DISC media (much less 128Gb) to archive all those precious home movies, forget it. It ain't happening. What's most frustrating is that the box that it comes in says it supports 128Gb media and M-DISC media, blah blah blah. Its all hype. I'm going to give LG tech support one more chance to come up with a solution or this junker is going back to Best Buy.
