Title: Panasonic ships World's Thinnest Blu-ray Disc Drives Post by: Alex on December 29, 2007, 08:10:11 PM Panasonic ships World's Thinnest Blu-ray Disc Drives
Panasonic has begun shipping samples of the world's thinnest (that’s 9.5 mm to be exact) internal Blu-ray Disc drives to personal computer manufacturers. The new sample 9.5 mm high BD drives were accomplished by combining Panasonic’s own technologies such as the low-profile, 2-lens actuator and spherical aberration compensation mechanism and an optimized optical design for the CD, DVD and Blu-ray disc laser. Even with its thin profile, the new BD drive features double speed reading and writing for both write-once BD-R and rewritable BD-RE discs. All Blu-Ray discs have a maximum reading speed of 2x. Single layer discs are written at 2x while double layer discs have a max writing speed of 1x.
