Can anyone recommend a good external Blu-ray drive for PC that I can use for playback and burning? Was going to go ahead and just purchase this one, but wanted to see what others have first.
 
I have an internal burner(GGW-H20L)

Deep down all bluray burners are the same.

I didn't see any internal ones on Best Buy's website, but I'm sure I could track one down. I just don't know how easy it is to just replace the DVD drive that I currently have.

If it is a standard 5.25" that uses a SATA for power and connection it is easy.
Just unplug the DVD drive, unscrew it from the case and pull it out.
Then insert the new drive, screw it in and plug it in.

I'll take a look.
 
I ended up with that LG external linked above, but I bought a remanufactured one off of eBay for $52. Says it comes with a 90 day warranty, so we'll see how this goes.
