    Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere (if so please direct me to it :p ). My M17x-R2 came without a blu-ray drive, huge waste of processing power :D. I'm looking forward to buying a Blu-ray drive (either ROM or burner is fine). Should I go for the internal CA10N drive ? If so how does this drive perform? (speed, noise, reliability .etc). If I go external, which USB blu-ray drive is the best on the market now? Speed, noise and size are my top concerns. Talking about USB, are there any USB 3.0 blu-ray drive out there yet? Thanks for your help :)
