Pioneer's Blu-Ray PC Drive Beats New Year
28th Dec 2005, 20:08 GMT
To help along the proliferation of Blu-ray versus the dreaded competition of HD-DVD, Pioneer has unveiled a Blu-ray DVD disc drive for the PC. Aimed mainly at professionals—specifically high-end content users (mainly folks who work at movie studios and need to evaluate Blu-ray DVD titles during the authoring process)—it will also be marketed towards people who have a TV tuner in their PC and want to record HD content. And of course, those who just want to watch next generation DVD movies. The half height BDR-101A Blu-ray Disc/DVD writer will read BD-ROM/R/RE, DVD-ROM/DVD-R/DVD-RW and +R/+RW discs. It offers the following write speeds: BD-R/RE (2X) DVD-R/+R (8X) DVD-RW/+RW (4X) Chalk another one up for Blu-Ray.
