The LG BE06 is undeniably stylish to look at too, with its glossy white casing and touch-sensitive eject pad. And it works equally well whether standing vertically or horizontally.
Blu-ray isn't tumbling in price just yet, and the LG BE06 isn't exactly cheap. The LG BE06, though, is slightly more expensive than its main rival from Buffalo BRHC-6316U2. Admittedly, the difference amounts to just a few pounds, and even given the...

While there’s something to be said for the convenience of an external drive with a USB 2.0 interface, this is offset by the BE06’s gargantuan size. The enclosure is nearly 3 inches longer and an inch wider than its internal brethren—and $100 more...
