bus-powered Blu Ray drive for MBP?

[iDemiurge]

My 2011 MBP is now on the way and I'm planning to pull the second HD trick on it. Can any one recommend a good bus-powered all-purpose drive (inc. blu ray burner)?

I've found this one from LaCie, but unlikely it's bigger Firewire counterpart it is not specifically merchandised as Mac-compatible.

There's also this which claims to be Panasonic, but I can't see anything Panasonic about it...

Thanks for your thoughts!

- That one can't burn BDs.

That one can't, but there's a variant of it that can. I think that's the one David meant. Looks neat indeed.
