Toronto (OTL) - Sony has introduced their third generation Blu-ray optical drive this week, the BWU-300S.
The new MWU-300S pushed out Blu-Rays at 8x. That means an amazing 25GB can be written in only 15 minutes, and a 50GB disc can be filled in just half an hour.
The drive is also able to write DVDs at up to 16X, CDs up to 48X. However, the burning speeds for DB-RE media is at 2X.
This is extremely fast to say the least, probably as fast as an optical drive will ever get.
And, for that added bonus, it comes with Men in Black on Blu-ray.
It would retail for $400 USD, and will launch in October.
