Liteon iHES206 is coming at a very decent price. it would be great for this type of model be made available on Mac Pro's, and if there could be a slot loading version, used in more macs. It is really disappointing mac's aren't properly BD compatible just yet.

The 6x optical drive simply reads Blu-ray Discs, but it will handle writing of blank CD and DVD media. As for speeds, it can digest single-layer BD-R / RE / ROM discs at 6x (dual-layer at 4x) while writing DVD±R at 16X, DVD±R DL / DVD+RW at 8x, DVD-RW at 6x and DVD-RAM at 12x. It's on track for a November release in Europe for a manageable 139 ($189)
