  • Abstract:  Blu-ray has finally arrived, and like a lot of first-gen products, it’s big on price, but not so big on performance. Sure, we used it in the Dream Machine last month, and we stand by that decision. The Dream Machine is all about the bleeding-edge—it bo...

  • Expensive; slow write time compared to CD and DVD burners; doesnt read or write dual-layer Blu-ray discs or CDs; no Mac support.
  • The first Blu-ray burner to hit the market, the Pioneer BDR-101A gives you 25GB of storage on a single disc and its actual write speeds nearly match its rated 2X spec. Still, its a first-generation drive thats too expensive for anyone but professiona...

  • The BDR-101A is a first-generation Blu-ray recorder suitable for authoring Blu-ray and DVD discs, albeit slowly. However, its limitations and extremely high price make it useful only to a select audience....

  • Abstract:  Blu-ray DVD writer for early adopters: The only way youll know this drive is not a straight DVD rewriter is the Blu-ray logo on its tray-front and the substantial drop in your bank account when you buy one. The cheapest we could ...
