Looking for new Blu-ray drive


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for new Blu-ray drive for my HTPC. Anyone have a good suggestion? What I need is, watch Blu-rays and maybe backup some to HDD. I don't have any idea if these drives have some copy protections nowadays that I should avoid.

Hello,

 

I have had good results with ASUS, LG, Panasonic (Matushshita) and Pioneer BD-R drives.

I just got this one a while back

Been happy with it - I wanted the mdisc support most of all.  I can tell you I didn't have any problems backing up a bluray to hdd for example.  But that was a limited sample test, not up to speed on all the different types of protection in place.  But I was able to play the movie off of it, and was able to rip it to hdd and watch that as well.

 

62$ seems like a fair price point to me, for what I do with it which is pretty much burn archive copies of my home videos/pictures to it.

I've also got an LG Blu-Ray reader and find it great would happily recommend it (mines about 3 years old so won't bother with a model number/link).
