Buffalo thinks quite highly of their relabeled products, don't they?

Before overhead that is what, 72MB/s? That's not too shabby for optical media.

They had an internal ASUS Blu-Ray drive on sale the other day for $40 after $20 rebate. Add a cheap external enclosure and you're there.

BDXL is still a joke though.
