    Hey Guys
    i was wondering if anyone knew a way to connect the smartbay bluray drive to a normal PC? i basically need to transfer data from a rewriteable Bluray to my PC (which has massive amounts of storage)
    is this possible? plus i'm open to home brew ideas too :)

    thanks in advance

    network sharing.

    if you have an adequate network, there should be some adequate speeds.

    just put it in the m17x, and connect the lappy to a network the PC is on as well (LAN, WLAN, ad-hoc LAN, whatever).
