Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc ( BD , BRD ) is a digital optical disc data storage format. It was designed to supersede the DVD format, in that it is capable of storing high-definition video resolution (1080p).

Before this, you should know that you need to remove the copy protection from your Blu-ray first, and then you will could get the permission to transfer and backup Blu-ray to your external hard drive. And then, the hard drive should be there when you wanna watching. If you are a Mac user, why not backup the Blu-ray to your Mac directly with 1:1 copy rely on Mac’s large storage.
