I am in the middle of custom building a puter to keep Cyberlink happy.
I would like some recommendations on a blue ray burner.
Internal preferably but will consider external.

What do you use and your likes/dislikes?

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave

Welcome to the volunteer forum

I used to use an external USB BD burner that I bought on Ebay.

The main advantage was it was portable at around the size of a CD case!

This product has been ideal as I previously used a laptop that only had a DVD built in burner.

Here's a link to a similar product

If you are building a desktop, an internal BluRay burner is probably the best way to go.

A BluRay burner should burn and play ALL current CD, DVD and Bluray disks.
So you do not need to have multiple optical burners, unless you want more than one.

I prefer Lite-on or LG brands.
