You cannot buy external Blu-ray drives yet. only internal as far I know.

ANyway, 60/Mbps sec for firewire... well... that's pushing it. Blu-ray movies itself peak at around 48/Mbps, sometimes even more from what I have observed.

One of my concerns would be if I will be able to play Blu-ray movies on computers via an external drive without any inference or not.
