[QUOTE="Algus, post: 1562951, member: 319021"] I also recommend OWC, they have a good lineup of drives depending on what you are looking for (form factor, aesthetics, etc) I personally [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MRSSBD6X/"]like this slim model[/URL] which I use with my Mac Mini One thing to be aware of is that OS X does not support blu ray movie playback out of the box. This is...annoying...to say the least and is also the reason that Apple's SuperDrive (which in all other respects is ~awesome~) does not support BD. OWC has a good web page talking about this issue and software solutions to get your movies working. [URL="http://blog.macsales.com/12010-play-blu-ray-movies-on-your-mac-without-converting-them-first"]Check it out here[/URL]. I haven't had any real problems with Macgo but since BD standards always seem to be changing, you're definitely not guaranteed 100% playback. Best to test your movies before you go on a trip and find out the ones you brought don't work! [/QUOTE]
