Since Apple still has a hard time making Bluray drives available to the user, one has to resort to other manufacturers. Asus has a fairly inexpensive model in its range whose operating speed is very high and the device works surprisingly quietly. Blurays with a capacity of up to 128 GB are supported, so the user can also use it for data backups.
