External USB Blu-Ray drives under Linux?

[phiscock-g851W1bGYuGnS0EtXVNi6w at public.gmane.org]

Folks -

I've outgrown by DVD storage, so I'm considering upgrading to an external
USB connected Blu-Ray burner. Using an external USB-connected hard drive
works great on this Suse Linux box, so I'm hoping there is a similar
solution for Blu-Ray.

Any comments on the feasibility of this? Does it require special software
or can you simply mount the drive and copy to it?

Any advice would be appreciated. Here's the description of this system:

cat /etc/issue
Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel \r (\l).

cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.22.19-0.4-default (geeko at buildhost) (gcc version 4.2.1
(SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP 2009-08-14 02:09:16 +0200
