I'm in the market for a slim (laptop style) blu-ray burner for my ESXi hosts. Is 6x pretty much their limit? I've got a LG WH14NS40 that has been fantastic in my old host, but I'm transitioning to a couple Dell R710's that I got from work for free... so a 5.25" drive obviously doesn't work. Seems like the pickings for the slimline models are pretty limited.
I've got a Panasonic UJ-240 coming from eBay to see how it works. I will need to order another for the second host... unless there is a more recommended one. Really, I just need a Blu-Ray ROM, but the prices seem to be pretty much the same either way, so for an extra $10-15 I'll have the ability to burn to Blu-Ray media... if I ever need to.
