Blu Ray drive recommendation?

[Rudy30920]

Hey all, im building a desktop and im looking to install a blu ray player. I know most of them that come out have low end software and I will buy a better one. But Im looking for some input from people that have blu ray players that either you recommend or tell me to stay away from. Also, should I have a blue ray and a normal cd/dvd burner? For the extra 20 bucks is it worth having both just to have? Thanks ahead of time for the input.

Have had a Samsung for about a year. The computer only has the one optical drive, and have not missed having a second one.

I have a LG BD/DVD/CD combo drive and im very pleased with it, i have had zero problems with the drive itself. However the PowerDVD program that comes with it so you can watch blu ray movies is quite glitchy and is prone to crashing.

So I think it would be worth it to do a combo drive itll help with cable management too.

Good Luck!

Here is my drive:
