Memorex 98839 External 12X Blu-Ray Writer (USB 3.0) -$69.99 (reg. $150/no rebates)

TigerDirect has the Memorex 98839 external blu-ray on sale for $70. I went and picked one up yesterday. Great price for an external blu-ray writer. They had just got their shipment in and had a lot available (Naperville, IL).

IMO, great price for an external Blu-ray burner. Smilie

From the description, it says it comes with software to write. I'm not sure about reading. That's what I'm wondering as well.

For a Mac you need to get separate software as blu-ray is not supported natively. It comes with software but it is for PC only. Just google blu-ray and Mac software and you'll find easily what you need.

FWIW I have a Mac and this works perfectly.

This software that you have, does it play Blu-rays fine? I have iMovie and Final Cut Pro, I wonder if it can write to Blu-Ray...

Also, what's the software called?

Every single external optical drive (excluding the portables) I've owned in the last decade has either been designed to stay vertical (in other words, they tell you performance improved by standing vertical), or at least came with a stand to choose the orientation. The whole idea is that vertical orientation will allow you to save on desk space. And obviously putting heavy objects on top of an optical drive (assuming laid flat) can be a bad idea.

No, you're making an assumption here--the stand is REMOVABLE. A review I've checked confirms as much.

Obviously. It would be an idiotic design otherwise. I've owned more than a dozen of these things (various makes/models) in the past, and they've always been removable.
