The Blue Ray technology still wandering around the market today. I’m not sure if it’s an affordable technology, since it’s not only the player itself, but requiring the other elements such as HDTV and Home Stereo set, and a soundproof room probably…

Anyway, Buffalo released the fastest Blue Ray Disc recorder, which is up to 8X speed for BD, and 16X for DVD/R.

Not sure if Blue Ray technology still classified as “new” technology, but today, the fastest current BlueRay Disc available in the market is from Panasonic with 6x speed maximum on data transfer. We know that the faster BD will come out soon enough.

This Buffalo have 2 type of burner, one Internal and External — SATA compatible. The External is using the USB 2.0 connection, and will be available in Japan for $380 (Internal) and $440 (external drive).
