\n\n The advent of Blu-ray technology has led to the introduction of high capacity storage discs to meet the demand cause by the rapid growth of high definition television (HDTV).\n \n Blu-ray discs get their name from blue laser technology. The shorter wavelength of the laser is the reason it is blue in colour. The blue laser has a wavelength of 405nm compared with the wavelength of 650nm for DVD which utilises red laser technology. The benefit of having a blue laser with a shorter wavelength means it is possible to write smaller data pits & therefore vastly increase the amount of data on the disc.\n \n Blu-ray discs offer 3 to 5 times the storage capacity of a standard recordable DVD disc\n\n \n\n Features Type BD-RPrintable Yes Native capacity 25 GBTechnical details Type BD-RPrintable Yes Native capacity 25 GBWriting speed BD-R write speed 4x Packaging data Package type Spindle Packaging content Quantity per pack 10 pc (s)\n\n\n\n
