Need recommendations for a external bluray drive.

[RavenSword]

So I'm wanting to play and rip blurays on my new 27inch iMac, but need advice on which ones are worth buying. I'm wanting to rip my bluray and did collection to something like plex or store them on a hard drive.

This is the one I have. I like it a lot. The write speed is fast and it's USB 3.0.

EDIT: I just noticed that link I posted is for a refurb. It looks like it's discontinued because the new prices on it are ridiculous. Still, they're all about the same. Stick with USB 3.0 if you can.

There one that wire utter recommends from pioneer, but it's only from third party sellers. Not sure how much I trust those. The Best External Optical Drives for DVDs and Blu-rays | The Wirecutter

Well, one of those third party sellers is Amazon. I trust them more than I trust most brick and mortar retailers. It looks good though. Are you just looking for a read drive? If that's the case you can't go wrong for $26.
