Had a quick look and I don't think anyone else has posted this information. But if they have then sorry. :blush:
Sony has unveiled its first internal Blu-ray rewritable drive, capable of storing up to 50GB on a double-sided disc.
The BWU-100A drive supports both BD-R (write once) or BD-RE (rewritable) discs, which also provide sufficient capacity to store up to four hours of high-definition video using HDV 1080i. The new drive also supports singled-sided 25GB discs, which can be burnt in about 50 minutes.
The drive also reads and records to CDs and single and double layer DVD discs in a variety of formats.
'Now consumers, professional videographers and filmmakers can store, record and experience the highest capacity of high-definition video available - from capture to playback,' said Bob DeMoulin, marketing manager for branded storage products in Sony Electronics' IT Products Division. 'Our Blu-ray Disc drive represents a significant leap in storage technology.'
CyberLink software for capturing, authoring, editing and burning high-definition personal content captured by a HDV 1080i format camcorder and for converting video to standard-definition resolution for burning onto DVDs is included.
The internal drive features an IDE (ATA/ATAPI) interface and standard 5.25-inch form factor and will cost around $750 when it begins shipping in the US in August.
