We know these are quiet pricey at the moment but like all very new technology we guarantee these will drop in price as more become available ... still a lot cheaper than a 50gb hard drive though and capable of huge amount of data backups ... ideal for businesses who backup large databases etc.
Introducing TDK 50GB BD-RE media, next-generation blue laser rewritable discs offering massive storage capacity and blazingly fast transfer rates. From backing up large data directories to recording HD video, TDK Blu-ray Discs make it possible.
For TDK's rewritable Blu-ray Disc media, a specially designed high-sensitivity phase change recording material is utilized. The material is so stable that a TDK Blu-ray Disc shows virtually no performance degradation even after it has been overwritten 10,000 times.
DURABIS 2 protects the disc surface against scratches and resists smudges from fingerprints, providing error-free Blu-ray Disc performance. Hard coating technology pioneered by TDK is part of the Blu-ray specification, but only TDK has DURABIS 2, the most advanced hard coating formulation for Blu-ray Disc media.
