Blu ray Drives
Reviewed by Bram P
Today, the Blu ray discs are yet another revolution in technology. The Blu ray disc is the latest optical disc format created by the BDA (Blu Ray Disc Association which includes TDK, Thomson, Sharp, Pioneer, Philips, Mitsubishi, Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Samsung, Apple, Hitachi, LG, Dell, and HP. The BDA boasts 180 of the world’s leading consumer electronics, media and personal computer manufacturers.
In the past, High Definition DVDs and Blu Ray discs were competing intensely about which would succeed the DVD. Now that Blu ray discs have won this battle, the focus is now on Blu ray drives that support the ability to read and write the data on Blu ray discs. The Blu ray technology, as the name suggests, uses a blue-violet laser to read and write data unlike the current technology which uses red laser. A blue-violet laser (405nm) which is very short in wavelength than a red laser (650nm) concentrates the laser spot with superb accuracy. The advantage of this is that, it permits data to be stored in less space since the data can be packed more tightly, which further, allows consumers to fit additional data on the disc even though it may be the same size as a CD or a DVD. A single-layer HD-DVD disc only store 15 GB whereas single-layer blue ray DVDs can store 25 GB which is more than 2 hours of high-definition video and 13hours hours of standard video. A dual-layer High Definition DVD can store up to thirty GB whilst the same format Blu ray DVDs can hold fifty-four GB which comes to about 4.5 hours of HD video and more than twenty hours of standard video.
Anyhow, Blu ray drives are undoubtedly dearer than other standard drives. Blu ray drives that can both read Blu ray discs and burn DVDs are about 3 times the price of a standard DVD burner. Further, if you are on the look out for Blu ray drives that can burn Blu ray media, the prices will be 10 times higher.
Many online shopping websites are available for you to choose your Blu ray drives. A little research will enable you to find good bargain for your money. Several of the producers of Blu ray drives are Sony, Samsung, Pioneer, Philips, Panasonic, LG, HP, and BenQ. Though it is not obligatory, the Blu Ray Disc Association allows manufacture of backward compatibility reading normal compact discs and DVDs in addition to Blu ray discs.
