Sony Announces Second Gen PC Blu-ray burner

Sony's newest Blu-ray burner cuts 50GB disc burn time in half

Sony announced today a new updated internal Blu-ray burner for PC. The new drive doubles the write speed as compared to previous Blu-ray BD-R burners inside computer systems. The new BWU-200S Blu-ray burner cuts burn time in half allowing a full 50Gb BD-R disc to be burned in about 45 minutes. Previous drives were 2x drives and the burn time was around 90 minutes for a BD-R disc.

Nice upgrade but I still refuse to buy one till they a full burn takes less than 20 min. Which if this pace keeps, should be around 4-5 months.

Kururo6073d ago

waiting for a big price drop on these burners. 600$ is just too much for a burner.

DJ6073d ago

But I'll wait for 8x burn speed.

Luckily the burn speed per multiplier is bigger than DVD, which rocks. 50GB's of data in less than 20 minutes? Dang technology is coming fast.
Also must be less than $350

games4fun6073d ago

this is why all the ps3 games take longer to make they finish the game easy, no problem, but then it takes a couple weeks extra to burn all the disks.
Edit: i own a ps3 by the way

xplosneer6073d ago

They press the discs not burn them, so you're wrong. BD-+R burns, BD-ROM is pressed.

Darkiewonder6073d ago

heck, when the CD Burner came along, I waited for a price I can get. like under 150 lols. same thing with the DVD burner. It's just a matter of time where it's in my price range.

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy018d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

With much less performance so that makes sense.

The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.

Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X

Killa786d ago

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

PRIMORDUS6d ago

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird3606d ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor6d ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Notellin5d ago

They tested the battery life watching a game of Tetris in 360p. Running Tetris natively brought the number down slightly to 1 hour and 38 minutes. 😂

Asuka6d ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
