One caveat about external Blu-ray drives, though: be careful with ones that connect via USB. You're likely to see a lower level of performance with those. At the very least, look for something with a FireWire connection, as that method of connection has a greater data transfer rate than USB, which is fairly important when dealing with Blu-ray data. LaCie brand (high-quality stuff) makes an external Blu-ray drive that connect via FireWire or USB, but they're pricey.

I'd just as soon see you get yourself set up with something internal, but that's not what you asked for.

Any of those work for apples?
