FEATURES- Internal Blu-ray Disc Drive- Black bezel
Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD), is the name of a next-
generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray
Disc Association (BDA). The format was developed to enable
recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as
well as storing large amounts of data.
The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of
traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and
50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the
use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an
unprecedented HD experience.
While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD+/-R,
DVD+/-RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data,
the format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name
Blu-ray. Despite the different type of lasers used, Blu-ray
products can easily be made backwards compatible with CDs and DVDs
through the use of a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical pickup unit. The
benefit of using a blue-violet laser (405nm) is that it has a
shorter wavelength than a red laser (650nm), which makes it
possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision. This
allows data to be packed more tightly and stored in less space, so
it's possible to fit more data on the disc even though it's the
same size as a CD/DVD. This together with the change of numerical
aperture to 0.85 is what enables Blu-ray Discs to hold 25GB/50GB.
Includes Drive, mounting screws, Plextor software disc (Roxio), 1 piece
DVD+R media, ATAPI cable and quick reference guide. Replaceable
beige front bezel included -Bilingual Packaging (English and French).
