Lite-On Unveils New Value 12X Blu-ray Writer

btarunr · Jan 23, 2012

Lite-On unveiled the new iHBS112-04 internal Blu-ray disc writer drive. The drive is built in the standard 5.25-inch form-factor, supporting SATA interface. It is capable of writing BD-R single-layer at 12X, BD-R double-layer at 8X, BD-RE single and double-layer at 2X, and DVD±R at 16X. The drive features Lite-On's ABS (auto-balanced spindle) feature, which works to reduce noise and vibrations caused by the drive when revved up and spinning at high speeds. The drive features 8 MB of write cache. In Japan, it is priced at 6,980 JPY (US $90). It will be sold under its own label and those of various other companies, as Lite-On is a major upstream ODM of optical disc drives.

Does it write CDs also? Not that it would matter much in my case...

How is this "value" when you can get that sweet Asus burner for like $70 right now (maybe with a MIR.) Had my eye on that one for awhile; waiting til drops to like $50.

This is not special at all. As pointed out already, there have been several drives on the market with similar specs around $90 for over a year now. And if you don't need the BD writing function, you can get a BD drive for like $45 now.
