    I have the R1, without BR. I've been converting my DVD collection to MP4 and copying the disc to my HDD takes almost as long as the actual conversion. Plus side is that it's fast enough on the conversion side that I don't mind using the m17 instead of my i7 desktop. I want to know if there is a faster drive available for this computer...any ideas? slot load seems hard to come by.

    Use an external eSATA burner when you need quality and speed :).
