I upgraded to the new Macbook Pro retina display that don't have an optical drive. I don't use a drive much anymore, but still want to be able to burn photos on a disc at times and also need to install some of my existing software.
I was originally looking at trying to find an external blu-ray writer/player, but can't seem to find one that is compatible with Max OSx 9.x. I have read that you can get other software to use blu-ray players, but am not very computer savvy and have read difficulties others have experienced.
I was going to just by the Mac Superdrive, but it has gotten a lot of negative reviews on the apple canada site, so i wanted to get some advice on other options for an external optical drive for the new macbook pro's. I did read that the Apple Superdrive is the only one that will allow discs to be played using Apple's dvd player, so i also wanted to get advice on a good reliable external drive that is compact, as well as on how to also be able to play dvd's if the apple dvd player is only supposed to work with the Apple superdrive.
If someone does have advice on a good portable blu-ray writer/driver and software that it can be used with reliably (and isn't to complicated to setup), i'd also appreciate on advice on that option.
