I'm confused - you want a BD drive to read data from discs to your computer, not a standalone player with HDMI for your TV that fits in a small space in your media center? Why would you want that and not the slightly higher cost of being able to record to BD media as well?

Perhaps just to rip Blu-Ray movies? Few people have a need or desire to burn Blu-Ray discs.
