Sony Debuts BWU-200S 4X Blu-Ray Disc Writer
October 9, 2007 – 9:03 amAre you looking for a Blu-Ray Disc writer that gets the job done lickety-split? Then you’ll be pleased to know that Sony has introduced a new 4X Blu-Ray disc writer that boasts 4X BD-R and 16X DVD+R recording speeds.
The BWU-200S cuts BD-R burning time by half compared to the first generation model, allowing for a full 50GB BD-R disc to be recorded in about 45 minutes. It also eliminates the need for more than one drive in a system.
The BWU-200S drive can record up to 50GB of data for random access storage and backup on BD-R (write once) or BD-RE (rewritable) discs, or up to 230 minutes of high-definition HDV 1080i video on a BD-R/RE 50GB disc. It also supports recording on standard single layer 4.7GB DVD+R/+RW/RAM discs, 8.5GB DVD+R double/dual layer discs, and CDs.
The internal drive features a Serial ATA (SATA) interface and standard 5.25-inch form-factor for easy installation inside a desktop PC with Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP or Windows Vista(R) software.
The BWU-200S will be available next month with a price tag of $600.00. Pre-orders are now being taken at Sony Style.
