IMATION INDIA, a subsidiary of Imation Corp. has announced the availability in India of the TDK LoR's new Blu-ray Discs capable of recording at 4x speed. The four new TDK LoR Blu-ray Discs include the BD-R25 (single-sided, single-layer, 25GB) and BD-R50 (single-sided, dual¬layer, 50GB) write-once type discs, as well as the BD-RE25 (single-sided, single-layer, 25GB) and BD-RE50 (single-sided, dual-layer, 50GB) rewritable discs.

TDK LoR Blu-ray Discs, incorporate a recording layer comprised of inorganic material.
The discs are further highlighted by TDK LoR's exclusive DURABIS 2 hard coating technology, an ultra-smooth cover layer created through the innovative spin coating method, and a host of other advanced TDK LoR technologies that enable the creation of high-reliability media.

Since Blu-ray Disc media's data tracks are quite narrow even in comparison with DVD media, precise and stable interaction between the laser and the recording material is especially critical to ensuring error-free recording and playback. DURABIS 2 gives the recording surface extremely high resistance to scratches, fingerprint smudges and other dirt, thus eliminating the need for a protective cartridge.

ATDKLoR4x 25GB Blu-ray Disc can be fully recorded in 22 minutes, and a TDK LoR 4x 50GB Blu-ray Disc can be fully recorded in 45 minutes, cutting the recording time in half in comparison to 2x Blu-ray Disc media.
