I know of them, it's not my favourite idea. I prefer to keep it self contained, though it wouldn't be hard to just stuff it elsewhere on my desk when not in use.

One thing that's not entirely applicable is that we make fun of apple products for removing functionality from the device and giving it back as a dongle/adapter. But remove CD/DVD drives from PC's and use external ones.

It's not a 1:1 comparison though because apple does it to make their computers more unnecessarily thin as well as to sell you more of their overpriced shit, and PCs do it for more fans or other internal space.

Also, I'm not sure how an external blu-ray drive works. But I know you can get VLC to play discs off internal blu-ray drives, and the ability to quickly take snapshots like this at source quality using VLC without having to faff about with other shit is one thing I particularly like having.

At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference, and my personal preference, outdated and impractical as it is, is to have it all internal rather than external.

EDIT: After checking the cost of an external blu ray burner, they're almost double the price of an internal drive as well.

As far as I know this is the only USB Blu Ray drive compatible with libre mode.

Basically blu rays are heavily encrypted and normally, even with a Blu Ray drive, you would need to have the specific key to decrypt and rip a Blu Ray (every movie has its own key you would need) and you would input the key and it would take ages to rip. With libre mode, all you do is put the disc in and it rips it with no fuss. Just put the disc in and press the start button. That’s literally it.

PS: when i look into those things, noise isn't on my list of things i care about, i just want to it to work well. Just a disclaimer in case that's a thing you take into consideration.

If you're looking for an easy to use drive without much consideration for security, etc, you might wanna consider a WD MyCloud. Simple enough to use, and it's wireless so you could access it on your TV, I believe.

For external disc drive, well, external drives aren't usually as reliable as internal, and they're slower too. But to get it done, you could check out this one. Or for no BluRay, check this one.
