Very handy device for netbooks that don't come with a CD/DVD drive. Nice that you don't have to plug it in to a power source, so it's usable in almost any setting.

Q:
The advertisement information indicates this is a DVD, and DVD-BluRay Writer. On the products information literature, there doesn't seem to be anything that says it has the capability to read or write on Blu-Ray Media. Questions is, is this a Blu-Ray unit or not? Thanks.
