The First Blu-ray Burner, Pioneer's BDR-101A

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-getting-started dept.

mikemuch writes "ExtremeTech has a review of Pioneer's BDR-101A-- the first Blu-ray burner available. The drive can do anything with CDs, is kind of slow with DVDs, and doesn't support double-density Blu-ray media, but hey, it's a start, and can burn 25GB in 42 minutes. Check out its burn speed benchmark performance at the link above."

    It remains to be seen if the Beta-Ra*COUGH* blu-ray has any merit.

    Please forgive me. I seem to have caught a cold. It has persisted since, oh, about 1983 or so...

    That's why I have my Mac backed up on 3,248 floppies. If anything goes wrong with one, I'll only lose 1.44MB
