Internal Blu Ray Drive options

[iLidz]

I've been using an external blu ray drive with my imac since I bought it (release day for the 2011 refresh ) and I'm starting to look around for an internal option. The external drive I have now uses 2 usb ports and I'm tired of it cluttering my minimalist desk layout.

I did a quick search a it seems Panasonic had a popular slot loading blu ray option but I think it may be discontinued because I can't find it for sale now...... I have an SSD sitting on my shelf. I'm waiting for cables to get it installed and I'm thinking now would be a good time to upgrade the internal drive to blu ray. A blu ray burner would be ideal but I'm open to suggestions for just a BR reader too.

Thanks

The pana uj-235a should work.

Thanks for the reply and the link. That is the model I was searching for but I had the model number wrong. I guess that's why I thought it was discontinued.
Thanks again!
