Plextor Europe has unveiled two combination Blu-ray/HD DVD drives, the
PX-B920SA and PX-B300SA. These new drives can play back both Blu-ray and HD DVD movies and offer support for LightScribe technology. The
PX-B920SA is also capable of writing Blu-ray discs at 4x.
Plextor, a leading supplier of optical and storage devices, announces a new 4x
Blu-ray DVD ReWriter drive using the SATA interface - the PX-B920SA. Building on the success of its previous version, the internal
dual-format drive is capable of writing Blu-ray discs at 4x (BD-R) and also plays HD-DVD ROM discs.
In addition, Plextor has added
extra convenience by including LightScribe technology to enable custom text and designs to be printed/burned onto discs.
Rudy de
Meirsman, Sales & Marketing Manager of Plextor Europe, says: “Plextor has developed its second Blu-ray drive to be faster, dual-format,
as it reads HD-DVD discs, and utilises the SATA interface. Plextor has a long history in providing premium, high reliability optical
drives and the new PX-B920SA sets the standard again.”
The PX-B920SA and PX-B300SA appear to be based on LG's latest
Super Multi Blue drives, the GGW-H20L and GGC-H20L.
No word on price yet. However, both drives are expected to be available by the end of February. More information, including a full list
of specs, can be found here and
