The Samsung SE-506AB Blu Ray Writer is a simple, flexible, easy to use drive. It adds functionality to systems which lack blu ray capability. The data writing capabilities are impressive. The USB interface is great and not needing external power makes this portable drive a winner.

The product works just fine when you buy additional software like TOAST to burn Blu Ray discs on a MAC. The accompanying software unfortunately works only on a PC without prior warning.
