Speedy Blu-ray Drive From LG
LG Electronics has a launched three new PC
drives, including a Blu-ray drive that will allow users to watch
high-definition (HD) movies as well as record data to very large blank Blu-ray
discs.
The GBW H10N Blu-ray drive arrives
with the fastest write speed of any first generation Blu-ray drive, at 4x. It
will also write to all of the other blank DVD formats - DVD±R, DVD±RW and
DVD-RAM - at up to 12x. 
Blank Blu-ray discs come in two capacities,
single-layer 25GB and dual-layer 50GB varieties – 10 times more than a typical
blank DVD. That said, they also cost quite a lot more too.
The Blu-ray drive will come with 4MB of buffer memory but has yet to be priced. Expect it to ship in the coming month
