Comments about ASUS SBW-06D2X-U External Slim Blu-ray Combo:
100% plug-and-play on MacBook Pro. Very Easy to travel with and set up anywhere. USB Y-Cable power (plugs in to two USB ports) provides usability when in the field, but may be less desirable for desktop use.

Comments about ASUS SBW-06D2X-U External Slim Blu-ray Combo:
This is a good product but be sure your setup can accomodate the dual port USB connector. My laptop's USB ports are on opposite sides of the machine so I needed an extension (not included) to use the burner capability. Plus I only have two ports so using this device means unplugging everything else. For playback only a single port (seems) to be enough.
