Is my computer capable of supporting a Blu Ray rewriter?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1564 laptop.
It has a Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and 500GB hard disk. It only has an internal DVD rewriter fitted however.
I would like to add an external/portable Blu Ray rewriter so that I can store high quality photographs and video from my Sony SLT A57 camera.
Can anyone tell me if my current computer will support a device and should I be looking for anything in particular?
I have been pointed to a Samsung - please see the link:
This looks as though it will do the job and it isn't too expensive.

Hi Barneyboy48,
As the laptop has USB 2.0 port, the external Blu-ray drive will work as it is USB 2.0 compatible.
And you also need to install Blu-ray writing software in the computer to write the discs from the external Blu-ray drive.
