Hey all, I just found two different articles that say the Phillips/Lite-on joint venture (PLDS) will have a 12x Blu-ray burner out by the end of this year. That ought to make for some interesting lasers :) Hopefuly these drives will use a new diode and not an overdriven 8x diode.
 





me 3!!

but they would not over drive the diode they would use another or improve the optics or layout design
 
SWEEEEET! :drool:

Granted, I've only built one blu-ray laser, I cant wait for that.
I've never seen even a 6x but my I know that my PHR at 125mA is frikkin awesome so i can imagine that a 12x is going to be AMAZING!!
 
Uh, i don't see any price, nor effective, nor also just extimated ..... wondering about it, also :p :D

I would say so, they are getting those 8x BDR-203 up to 500mW I think.
 
1W? Holy @$!^#&*$@&$^$ Batman!!!! Sooner or later, they may have to put tighter regulations on these drives if they are about to become a class IV laser product!
But I can't complain.

:D
 
I wonder if the release of a 12x will drop the price of the 8x and 6x.

all in time my friend. someday....SOMEday they will have 24X blu-ray burners, and we'll be able to get 8x sleds for 10.99 at walmart lol!

but yeah... my PHR's are quite awsome.... and i've yet to even touch a 6x... so im drooling over the posibilities of the 12x... IMO blue burns better than red "for what i burn anyways" so this is quite exciting.
 
The other issue is that burner speeds aren't just limited by diode power but spindle speed of the disc media. I believe one of the articles mentioned that highest DVD buring speeds are at 24x with a spindle speed of 12000 RPM. The author said that speed would allow Blu-ray to burn at 14x. So until the guys making Blu-ray burning media get on the ball with more stable and tougher discs it might be a while before we see anything close to 20x or above.
 
patience patience, stewie is going to dominate the world soon :D
