Recommendations for USB Blu-ray drive

[Speedman100]

I want an external Blu-ray drive for my MacBook Pro with Retina display. Does anyone have any specific drives they'd recommend?

Did you want just a BD reader? Or were you looking for something with writing capabilities as well?

It isn't the most portable thing in the world. But this is what I had found when my fiancee was looking for a BD burner last year. It does require an external power source, so it is basically something to leave at your desk, but it gets the job done. And pretty well at that. Shopping around you should be able to get it for under $100 easily.

Here's a link to the amazon page: Memorex External 98839 Blu-ray Writer

Best of luck to you.

I've been using this Samsung drive and it has performed wonderfully! A nice portable drive, and at the time I purchased it for $85; so it does go in sale occasionally. Also, it runs solely off of USB power so you don't need an extra cable or anything.
