Blu-Ray Drive

I am looking to pick up a Blu ray drive for my home PC. I am looking to find the lowest priced drive that anyone knows of. My computer is fully capable of handling any drive as it is a very well put together engineering workstation built for running Solidworks. Quad core processor, 4 GB ram, and a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 video card. Any ideas?

Hello millwork400. Glad you're in the forums. This drive just came on sale this week. If you're not a subscriber of newegg.com's daily and weekly deals, then sign up and you should receive the offers via email every-other-day. Moving on....The LG Black 6x BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD + R 6X BD-ROM OEM is priced at $139.99 right now. Head on over there and get it. That is one heck of a deal on a blu-ray burner at 6x. How much are you willing to spend? Just curious. Good luck millwork400.

I have this drive ,and for what it does,it's an excellent value,so hurry up before they either run out,or the price goes back up. i't's happened before

Tiger direct also has a 6x at $129,,,,,plus it's a Plextor.

Gotta check this one out,Plextor makes great stuff,but is usually higher priced...Thanks for the tip...

Update: Went to Tiger Direct and examined a user review of the drive. It seems that the front panel of the drive has an issue where it can't be put in a tower in a normal fashion without voiding the warranty. So if you choose this drive,be careful..

And just so you know,it does not write to blu-ray which makes the LG drive a better value since it does,and reads HD DVD as well.

Me bad. Guess me should have read all the specs.

No worries,like me ,you were just trying to help...:D

Hope you got it,cause the OEM which was at the price stated above is gone,only the retail version exists at this link at $40 more...
