Recommend a USB Blu-ray drive for Mac mini?

[AVR2]

I want to hook up a USB Blu-ray drive to my Mac mini HTPC (2009 model, OSX 10.6.8). It only needs to read, not write. Can anybody recommend something that definitely works? Googling seems to suggest that some drives don't work on OSX.

I have the Samsung drive mentioned in the post directly above. It works well and needs only a single USB connection (unlike some drives which require a Y-cable that uses -2- USB ports...)

Thanks guys, I've ordered the updated version of that drive.

Apple doesn't support blu-ray but, with 3rd party software like Mac Blu-ray Player one can watch blu-ray discs on a Mac.

You can also use makemkv to watch BR discs.
