Thread: Buffalo's USB 3.0 Blu-ray writer

The move to faster USB protocol is due to the high writing speed became necessary for 12x speed is the data rate of 432 Mbps or 54 MB / s, which is far above the reach of USB 2.0 data rates. Until now, with external Blu-ray burners, therefore with the exception of a LG burner, the eight times the speed (36 MB / s) support should theoretically - when connected via USB at six times the write speed circuit, even if the same burner FireWire even higher than write rates supported.

With the new USB protocol this bottleneck is no longer required, provided that also support the motherboard or a dedicated controller card USB 3.0 - otherwise again at six times the speed Date:

• BD-R 8x Read / Write 12 × (SL), 8x Read / Write 12 × (DL)

• BD-RE 8x Read / Write 2 × (SL), 6 × Read / Write 2 × (DL)

• DVD-R 16x read / write (SL), 12 x read / write 8 × (DL)

• DVD-RW 12 x read / write 6 ×

• DVD + R 16x read / write (SL), 12 x read / write 8 × (DL)

• DVD + RW 12 x read / write 8 ×

• DVD-RAM 5 × Read / Write

• CD-R 40x Read / Write

• CD-RW 24 x Read / 10 x Write

The matte black held and 1.2-pound burner also supports the new 3D Blu-ray Discs and needed to use an external power supply, which with a capacity of up to 24 watts is not surprising. Also is a software package in made by Cyber link, which consists of the programs, Power Director, Power Producer, Power DVD, Power2Go, Power Backup, InstantBurn, Media Show and software True Theater 3D. With the latter to 2-D material from DVDs and Blu-ray discs are converted to 3D.
