Is it an option to buy an internal burner? I've always had nothing but issues with externals, which is why I got an internal put in my desktop.

I just bought a Lite-On iHBS212 internal burner with a 5.25" external enclosure. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for it. Everyone I spoke with said that, if you can, internal is definitely the way to go. Those 2 items and a 10pk of 4X BD-R discs cost me less than $200.

I went with the Lite-On because it had pretty good reviews wherever I looked, its 8MB cache was larger than almost every other burners' and its 12X speed.

Hopefully, I'll be posting in a few days that I absolutely love it.

I have a Pioneer BD-205 internal drive internal one hooked up via an external USB enclosure and it works great.

I wouldn't recommend an external one since they're much more expensive and I've heard of people having issues with them.

I don't know much about Blu-ray burners at all but I did get an internal LG burner for my birthday and have not had one issue. Good luck with your jump to HD!

I found a new LG BR-Burner:
http://www.lg.com/de/brenner-laufwerke/lg-BE14NU40

With that burner is it possible to burn also M-Disc's. M-Disc's are very expensive, but LG says forever playable. You can not destroy this disc. But the M-Disc is only a 4,7 GB disc.

Now you must thinking about: You want a BR which is not playable in 7 years or you have an undestroyable DVD? Difficult question for my self....
I also I read that the HVD format coming out. A disk with 3,TByte. That will be open the Quad HD format!
solution: 3840 * 2160 (first TV from Toshiba 3d without glasses)

Let's see what the future brings to us........
