External Blu-ray Burner drive for a Mac - Blu-ray Forum

djluis2k6 · 07-26-2009, 08:40 PM

Anyone know a good external Blu-Ray Burner for a Mac, specifcially the MacBook Pro 17"? I read that you can use one if you're using Windows in Boot Camp so that's what I plan to do. I was going to get the Dell XPS M1730, but looks like they're done away with it, they do that a lot, so I'm considering the MacBook Pro, but only if I can work it with an external Blu-Ray burner.

FastMac carries drives for Macs or MacBooks but also has external drives:

I bought this sweet burner for my Vista. It is also for the MAC. Check it out. You will not be sorry. It is a good burner. My problem that I am having is how to convert DVR-MS video file so that can burn home movies to blu ray... so far... I ain't having no luck.

Anyway, check it out. They have a wide range of burners. Probably just what you are looking for.
