Writing up to 100GB and running it through only USB 2.0? Bad call in my book.
This drive burns BDXL at 4X. Blu-ray transfer rate at 4X speed is 144 Mbps. USB 2.0 bandwidth is 480 Mbps.
So even if this drive used Thunderbolt, its speed would have been the same.
but saddly 1 tiny scratch and it's :nutkick: and :banghead: time :shadedshu
and what of the price of these multi-layered discs ? i bet they will be astronomical in price, and that i'll need a mortgage to buy 1 :twitch:
What I found surprising is how slow it is recorded. i mean, I started the burn let's say 3pm and when I came back at 6pm the thing was still burning
