Plextor Announces Blu-Ray Writer With 12x Write Speeds
Plextor announced a new Blu-ray internal writer, the
PX-B940SA. This new drive features Blu-ray write speeds of up to 12x, which
Plextor claims is the fastest available on the market today. The drive comes
with CyberLink’s BD Suite software package and uses a Serial ATA interface. In addition to Blu-ray, the drive also
supports DVD R/RW and RAM. It can accept both 12cm and 8cm discs (horizontally)
and has a 4MB buffer.
Using a Serial ATA interface, the internal PX-B940SA provides users with a convenient solution for Blu-ray playback, while simultaneously offering increased storage capacity with BD writing capabilities. Bundled with CyberLink’s TrueTheater™ HD technology, consumers can easily boost DVD video and audio quality to achieve HD-like results and smoother playback.
“Blu-ray is fast-becoming the standard for quality movie playback, and we’re taking that to the next level with the addition of BD writing capabilities,” said Christine Hsing, Marketing Manager at Plextor. “Plextor has always been a leader in the optical market and we’re proud to offer our users a simple, all-in-one Blu-ray solution.”
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 (horizontally) and has a large 4MB buffer to ensure there is no data interruption. Write speeds: 12x BD-R DL/SL, 2x BD-RE, 16x DVD+R/-R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+/-R DL, 5x DVD-RAM, 40x CD-R and 24x CD-RW.
The included TrueTheater™ HD further allows users to make the most of their standard DVD content by enhancing video and audio playback quality. The software turns standard content into HD-quality images, eliminating jagged edges and distracting video artifacts during playback of standard content on high-resolution displays. CyberLink’s video up-scaling technology can convert video resolution from 480p to 1080p, making standard-definition content played on HD screens appear to be as detailed and sharp as high-resolution video.
The internal PX-940SA 12x BD writer is now available for $279 MSRP. For more information on the PX-B940SA, please visit www.plextor.com.
