Plextor is again confirming its position as the leading quality supplier of optical devices, by launching the fastest Blu-ray DVD re-writer in the world. The Plextor PX-B940SA writes at a blistering 12-speed (BD-R DL/SL), which is an important step up when burning complete Blu-ray discs which can hold anything up to 50GB of data.
Using a Serial ATA interface, the internal Plextor PX-B940SA offers extra convenience through faster operation and saving time – ideal for home enthusiast and SOHO users requiring high capacity data storage for backups, movies etc.
Rudy de Meirsman, Sales & Marketing Manager of Plextor Europe, says: “As Blu-ray is becoming the de-facto standard for consumer players, within PCs and even laptops, volumes rise and technology accelerates. Plextor is showing its continued innovative ability to stay on top of the optical market – bringing out the latest Blu-ray technology in an extremely high quality and high reliability package.”
The PX-B940SA not only uses the latest Blu-ray technology, but is also a highly versatile dual-layer DVD drive that combines multiple formats - DVD R/RW and RAM - into one. It can accept both 12cm and 8cm discs (in the horizontal position) and has a large 8MB buffer to ensure there is no data interruption.
