I am trying to get a Blu-ray Drive for my PC. If it could burn Blu-ray disk it would be better but not essential. I am more concerned in reading speed though. My budget is $150. What is your recommendation?

Have both an LG and a Samsung Blu-ray writer, Both work fine.

SONY - WOULD Not give a PLUGGED nickel for them.
I only buy sony products as a Last resort. It is not that they do not work OK, just my personal boycott. And in only One case have I not been able to Find a lower, and in may cases, a better performing electronic subsystem. My one exception - Blu-ray Rom/DVD RW drive for laptop.
