Buffalo Externalizes 4x Blu-ray Burner

Buffalo is getting ready to roll out a new external Blu-ray burner with a 4x recording speed, which in perspective can write 50GB (BD-R dual layer) in 45 minutes. The read speed is also doubled to 4x as well, supposedly meaning less time waiting for Blu-ray movies to load. As for Blu-ray re-writeable (BD-RE), speed tops at 2x, and the write time for a single layer disc will be 47 minutes at this speed.

Buffalo bundles Power2Go 5 which provides 128-bit AES encryption for your Blu-ray disc data archive, and PowerDVD 7 BD for movie playback. Last but not least is the integration of the AC adapter into the chassis - something Chinese OEMs should learn from Buffalo.
