I'm looking for a good blue-ray disk drive for my future computer, but I'm not sure which is exactly the best.
I found one thats really interesting, its called the LG Black (the name is pretty long, its just specs). Here are the specs:
DVD-Rom access time- 150ms
CD-Rom access time- 160ms
Cache- 4mb
DVD+4 - 16x
DVD+RW - 8x
DVD-R - 6x
CD-R - 40x
CD-RW - 24x
DVD+R DL - 4x
DVD-R DL - 4x
READ SPEED:
DVD-Rom- 16x
CD-Rom- 40x
Load type- Tray
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
CPU- Intel Pentium D 3.2GHz or equivelent (??)
Blue-ray Disk Authoring
READ SPEED:
BD-R - 6x Max
BD-R (DL)- 4.8x Max
BD-RE - 2x Max
BD-RE (DL)- 2x Max
BD-Rom- 6x Max
BD-Rom (DL)- 4.8x Max
HD DVD-Rom - 3x Max
HD DVD-Rom (DL)- 3x Max
HD DVD-Rom - 210msec
BD-Rom - 180msec
Now, lets get the first stupid question out of the way- can this read blue-ray? It doesn't say anywhere clearly, so I'm not sure about that. Also, the CPU requirement has me concerned... do I need a 3.2GHz processor? Because I'm planning on buying a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (2.85 GHz). And, well, is this generaly a good blue-ray drive? Thanks in advance.
