USB Bluray Drive?

I am looking for an affordable external bluray drive for my macbook to burn and watch bluray discs. I found this one on eBay… Is it any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/EXTERNAL-USB-2-0-eSATA-LG-GGW-H20L-6X-BLU-RAY-BURNER_W0QQitemZ380044035925QQihZ025QQcategoryZ96914QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It is basically the LG GGW-H20L Super Multi Blue in a case, but does it work with my macbook (via USB). Please give other suggestions with links. Thank you.

Will this bluray drive work with this motherboard?

I’m currently building a new computer and using a lot of parts from my existing computer including a recently purchased very expensive Sony BWU-100A bluray burner. The MB that I’m putting into my new rig is the Nvidia nForce 790i. When I look at the specs on newegg and other sites it says that it has PATA/EIDE support for 2 devices or am I reading this wrong? Basically is my bluray drive going to work with this motherboard or am I going to have to buy a IDE to SATA adaptor to get it to work?

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.
Yes this motherboard is a 790i Ultra. I know it supports SATA I was just wandering if it had at least one IDE connection because I know based off the specs that it has 6 SATA connections I’m more concerned about if it has any IDE connections for my Bluray drive.
