The drive also records DVDs at up to 16X, CDs up to 48X and supports DVD-RAM recording. This makes it ideal for data backup and a replacement burner for a standard DVD drive, while offering all the benefits of Blu-ray Disc technology.
Included with the drive is CyberLink’s software suite for capturing, authoring, editing, burning, and viewing high definition personal content.
Sony Australia’s Product Manager for Data Storage, Vincent Bautista said, “Adoption of the Blu-ray Disc format continues to grow, and with this increased interest comes the demand for better performance and price, which Sony is delivering with the BWU300S drive. Not only does this new drive provide state of the art hardware, but it also comes with a comprehensive software bundle for all consumer needs.”
The internal drive features a Serial ATA (SATA) interface and standard 5.25-inch form-factor for easy installation inside a desktop PC with Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista operating systems.
The BWU300S is fully supported by Adobe Encore CS3 software, includes Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Sony’s Vegas Pro 8 and DVD Architect Pro 5 software, providing video production professionals with another option for outputting high definition video on a Blu-ray Disc with MPEG-2 or H.264 compression.
