it's huge! DVD writers have been getting smaller and smaller and this new LG model is a good inch longer than the others in my case. Having removed everything from the box, the first thing that struck me was the size of this drive.

I think people would find the BD-RE much more useful, but perhaps that's just me? With the price of BD-R and BD-RE discs being about equal (roughly £10 a disc), I fail to see why LG bundled a BD-R rather than a BD-RE.

Super Multi Blue Blu-ray Disc Rewriter : GBW-H10N.

nice box! Now let's see what's inside it.

The drive was supplied as a retail boxed item. I would like to start by saying a big 'Thank You' to them! SVP Communications very kindly lent me this drive so I could get ImgBurn v2.2.0.0 working with Blu-ray drives / media properly.

Ok so that's enough chat about Blu-ray in general, let's look at the drive. If you think DVD's look excellent on your shiny new 46' HD TV, you haven't seen anything yet!īlu-ray enables the movie publishers to take picture and sound quality to a whole new level. That extra space is what makes this newer 'High Definition' format so good. Where a normal DVD burner might support your typical 4.37GB single layer and 8.5GB double layer discs, the Blu-ray single layer discs are 25GB! What you need to remember is that this is no ordinary burner, this one supports burning to Blu-ray discs. '£430.58 for a burner? That's crazy!', you're probably not alone -)

If you're looking at this and thinking to yourself.
