Pioneer 12X Blu-Ray Burner Released

[LarryDFW]

Forget the out-of-date 10X BR burners ...

Go straight to the first 12X BR burner:

Pioneer-bdr-205-12x-blu-ray-burner

"The secret behind the technology is a 450 mW pulsed-operation blu-violet laser, which is significantly stronger than the 200 mW lasers that are commonly used in today’s Blu-ray players.
Sanyo claims that the new device can support Blu-ray discs with up to four layers (instead of only two), raising the potential maximum capacity of Blu-ray discs from 50 GB to 100 GB."

Only $250 in Japan (22,800 Yen )

Working on the new driver & host now.

Already have the lens assembly.

P.S. Tell the chinese the 10X sleds are obsolete now,
but we will take them off their hands for a few dollars.

Waiting (as in 6 months to a year) to buy anything seems to be a good thing for diode lasers! Although it doesn't help my projector that is in pieces.

From what I have read and heard from LPF members,

they should be available in Taiwan & U.S. by then.

Wow... that's equivalent to a CDR speed of 360x. Your CD would be done in 13 seconds.
