How to convert internal to External Blu-Ray burner box

Forum Storage : Optical Media How to convert internal to External Blu-Ray burner box

Word :    Username :           
 

:hello: I have two internal Blu-Ray burner/readers. I am 100% Mac Pro/Intel/Snow Leopard. I would like to change one of the internals to an external FW800 drive if possible and would be very grateful for a spelled-out process written for a complete dummy (just to be sure I don't miss anything). Also interested in using said box as a eSata box with a card for the Mac Pro (if one exists) that has an external eSata port.

any thoughts? :o

Feel free to answer me directly at tossitfast[at]me.com
:wahoo:

This is all you need for an eSATA connection as long as you have a free SATA port:

Well, since you need to convert internal to externa blu-ray, you need to backup blu-ray to your hard drive disc. With the assitance of Blu-ray Ripper for Mac, you have mentioned that you are using mac os x. Your wish can be realized. This ripper can backup blu-ray movie and DVDs to hard drive disc directly without any loss for mac users.
