AMEX Launches Portable Blu-ray Drive for Mac

While Steve Jobs may call Blu-ray "bag of hurt", actual users of Apple products realize that Blu-ray provides enormous amounts of storage, something that is essential to anyone who does any image or video editing on their Mac. AMEX understands this need, and has launched their "Portable Blu-ray Super Multi Drive", developed especially for use with Apple computers.

This tiny drive (140 x 143 x 16 mm) connects to your Mac via a USB port which also power the device. It can read and write to any optical disc media out there, including both BD-R and BD-E in both standard 12cm and mini 8cm sizes.

So, if you're one of those Apple users who feel a bit slighted by Apple's recent lack of a Blu-ray announced, here is another option to consider. The drive is available now for a suggested retail price of $289.
