Blu Ray Drives: Pricey But Efficient
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.
HD DVDs and Blue Ray DVDs were in fierce competition some time back over which would become the successor of 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 disks. As the name signifies, the blu ray technology makes use of blue-violet laser to access data whereas the available technology at present uses a 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. One single-layer High Definition DVD disc holds only 15 GB whilst single-layer blu ray disc can hold 25 GB which is over 2 hours of HD video and thirteen hours of normal video.A dual-layer HD-DVD can hold up to 30 GB whereas dual-layer blue ray DVDs can store 54 GB which is 4.5hours of high-definition video and more than 20hours of a standard video.
Anyhow, blu ray drives are undoubtedly dearer than other standard drives. Blu ray drives that can read blu ray discs as well as burn DVDs are about three times the price of 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.
There are many online shopping avenues for selecting you blu ray drives. A simple search will find you excellent bargain for your money. Several of the producers of blu ray drives are Sony, Samsung, Pioneer, Philips, Panasonic, LG, HP, and BenQ. Although it is not compulsory, the BDA blu ray drive manufacturing to allow backward compatibility -reading standard DVDs and CDs in addition to blu ray discs.
