If yesterday's news wasn't exciting enough, LG has announced that they will be unveiling their new Super Multi Blue
drive at CES. The GGW-H10N functions as both a Blu-ray Disc writer and HD DVD-ROM drive and includes new features like LG's SecurDisc
technology.
LG offers
flexibility to consumers in the next generation in optical disc drives. The GGW-H10N is compatible with both Blu-ray Discs and HD-DVD
formats. The Super Multi Blue drive is compatible with Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD read/write and HD-DVD-ROM (read), offering consumers with
the most universal unit available.
The GGW-H10N can record up to 50GB of data, equivalent to 4-1/2 hours of high-definition video
or 22 hours or standard definition video (on a dual layer 50GB BD-R/BD-RE recordable media). Surpassing the market standard, LG is
providing a 4x recording speed of Blu-ray Discs, which means that it takes only 23-24 minutes to burn a full single layer BD-R disc
(25GB), compared with 46-47 minutes for conventional 2x recording.
The GGW-H10N will be released during the first quarter of
2007 and priced under US $1,200. More information, including a list of optical drives on display at CES, can be found here.
