For internal desktop drives, I have the WH16NS40. After flashing some open firmware on it, it works perfectly for playing and ripping BRs. Looks like I'll be picking up a spare in case this one dies.

The MakeMKV forum has a lot of good tips and instructions on selecting and configuring BluRay drives.

Thanks for the rec. I've been using the BP60NB10 for about a year now since I didn't have a PC with 5.25" slots at the time, but seeing as how the WH16NS40 is currently 68 bucks on Amazon, it's tempting to grab a couple as backups.
