Best Blu-ray external drive for Mac?

Post by Sashlync »

Ok my samsung drive is officially dead and i need a new recommendation. I use a desktop Mac and just need a reliable drive to rip blu-rays. Suggestions? (In the U.S.)

For Mac, you can get a 5.25 Internal Blu-Ray drive and an external optical drive enclosure. For Blu-Ray drives you can choose between the ASUS BW-16D1ht 16x blu-ray writer or the LG WH16NS40 16x Blu-Ray Writer. With the right firmware, the ASUS and LG can also Rip 4K UHD discs. If you'll just be ripping standard 1080P Blu-Ray, Pioneer is also a good choice but for now Pioneer cannot Rip 4K UHDs. For enclosures, you may opt for either the OWC external enclosure or the Vantec enclosure. Personally, I prefer the OWC.
