Good enough blu ray drive

I would like a reliable blu ray internal drive for around 50$ CAN if possible

I don't plan on using it on a daily basis and will only be reading from it

Any suggestions? thanks :)

I have two of these and they work flawlessly. But you could also try this one.The first one has a burner, the second one does not for the little extra money I would get the burner, but that's personal preference.

Awesome thanks :) I'll look into those. From your experience, how loud is the drive when playing back media from a BR disc?

It's about as loud as a standard drive. I don't think there's been much if any changes that effect the sound. If you've heard a disc drive in the past, this is no different.  And you're welcome. :)
