TDK launches 4x 25/50GB Blu-ray recordable media
TDK have launched two new write-once Blu-ray Discs capable of recording at 4x speed. TDK 4x 25GB BD-R Blu-ray Disc media and the 50GB version will both begin shipping later this summer.
A TDK 4x 25GB Blu-ray Disc can be fully recorded in 22 minutes, and a TDK 4x 50GB Blu-ray Disc can be fully recorded in 45 minutes, cutting the recording time in half in comparison to 2x Blu-ray Disc media. Additionally, TDK announced that it will offer business customers the world’s first 50 piece spindles of 4x 25GB BD-R Blu-ray Disc media.
The new discs support recording speeds from 1x to 4x, and like previous TDK Blu-ray Discs, incorporate a recording layer comprised of inorganic material. The discs are further highlighted by TDK’s exclusive DURABIS 2 hard coating technology, an ultra-smooth cover layer created through the innovative spin coating method, and a host of other advanced TDK technologies that enable the creation of high-reliability media.
Retail pricing is set at $19.99 (£9.76) for a 4x 25GB BD-R25B (recordable), while pricing for the 4x 50GB BD-R50B (recordable) has not been finalized.
