BEST External Blu-Ray Player for MacBook Pro 15" (early 2011) model?

Check Other World Computing's site for options.

I would recommend one with maximum versatility, one with Firewire, USB, and eSATA connectivity.

Additional Information: For Blu-Ray Drives, a Firewire 800 Connection would be optimal for performance working with your Mac. USB will work, but the drive will not operate at full speed given the bandwidth limitations of USB 2.0.

I'm not sure what level I am or if I can post links, but the best external Blu-ray drive for a Mac is the digistor external burner. it comes with toast 10 and arcsoft for playing blu-ray movies on windows, so if you bootcamp you can watch blu-ray on your mac!

the drive runs on one usb cable because it has a battery inside.

Also it comes with a 80 disc storage cabinet with an automatic sliding drawer. anyway super great burner for mac.

I have a Macbook Pro, late 2011, 13", 2.8Ghz, 8GB of Ram, OS Lion, a LG External Blu-Ray Disc Rewriter BE12LU38. I use the Blue-ray player software from www.macbluerayplayer.com. In have no problem at all playing blueray on my mac. I tried it with the AVATAR BlueRay Collection edition before I bought it and worked fantastic. By the way I don't use Bootcamp or any other windows stuff for this. I use plain Mac Lion OS to run this software, the LG model I mentioned and run really fast. I hope this help. Is there anything better outthere it is out of my knowledge.

The OWC Mercury Pro External Blu-Ray Burner is by for the best constructed and reliable drive out there. If you want something that lasts, this is it!
