Good
THE GOOD
Supports all major optical-media types; non-Blu-ray task speeds are acceptable; extensive software package.
THE BAD
Still very expensive; IDE-only; slow to rip commercial Blu-ray discs; finicky with media brands.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Sony BWU-100A Blu-ray burner is still priced out of range for most users, but if you have $700 to spare, it's a good choice for its range of media support and acceptable task speeds.
