External Blu-ray/dvdrw drive recommendations?

[dray67]

I'm looking to buy one and I've looked at a couple and just thought I'd ask the question here if anyone has a good recommendation, budget is @ £100 give or take, has to work with OS X and Win 7/10,

Thanks for any advice.

They are all much of a muchness these days, don't spend more than £30 for a dad nly and no more than £60 for the blu ray version. Samsung always gets good reviews and good prices on Amazon.

Samsung offers a slim USB writer that does CD/DVD/BD -and- M-DISC media as well:

I've been using a similar, earlier version (before they added M-DISC) for a few years now, no problems at all with my Mac Mini and requires only -one- USB cable (no Y-cable needed)...

I've got a $20 Coolead one that has worked flawlessly for me. It's a little finicky with commercial DVDs, buit never has an issue with Blu Ray or CDs.
