LG CH10 Blu Ray rewriter....

blueser

Looking for a Blu Ray rewriter for a while and I saw this in PC world today (yeah, I know; PC World!!) for €100. Seems decent enough VFM, but I need one that is Mac compatible and there is no mention on the box of the LG unit being Mac-friendly. Anyone on here using one of these with their Mac and if so, how do you find it (don't say on the desk next to the Mac!)?

No link. Saw it with my own two eyes. Luckily, knewing I'd be asking about it on here I took a picture.


Sorry about the quality; bloody cameraphone!!

*edit* Sh*t; just twigged it is an internal drive.

According to LG's site the later version (LG CH20 Blu Ray rewriter) of that is NOT compatible with Macs (here)

So I doubt that the earlier version would be. Sorry.

This is the only thing I could find on Ebay - and its shockingly expensive: http://cgi.ebay.ie/LACIE-301906U-D2-BLU-RAY-DRIVE-12X-MAC-PC-COMPATIBLE-/320671339249?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item4aa98052f1#ht_1771wt_952

Doesn't look like that would write to BD either, just DVD.

EDIT: the CH10, that is.
