The Blu-ray drive facilitates reading, writing and re-writing to single and dual layer BR discs at a whopping 2x speed. The drive also writes at 8x speed for single layer DVD±R discs and 4x speed for dual layer. DVD±R is rewritten at 6x speed, while standard CD±R lays it on at 24x speed. The price on the drive has dropped from $529.99 to $499.99 so you’re getting a great deal if you’re in the market for a Blu-ray drive.
Cool product – I am a Blu-ray fan from the start… by the end of the year I would expect these to be standard for any new computers, hence, be about the same price as todays DVD-DL burners :-)
