Any burning ability? ;D DIY Blu-ray burner?

My BDR-203 with it's 8x diode removed and swapped out for a PHR really does read Blu-Ray Discs!
I borrowed a BR movie disc from a friend and just played it back on my modded BDR-203. It was a bit reluctant at recognizing the disc at first, made some clicking noises, spun the motor up and down, but it finally read the disc fine. I can copy files from it at 8-10 MB/s.
How about the irony of a HD-DVD diode working in a BR drive ;-)
Here is a picture of the PHR in its new home:

quantile what driver is that? Nice build BTW.quantile said:Time to put the 8x in a host. It's a C3 stainless steel build (DX sku.11133) with a Dark Horse heatsink for the Aixiz module.
These are the parts:
The PCB of the original flashlight LED driver (with all components removed) was used for the positive battery contact. Negative contact is provided through the body, I had to remove some of the heatsink's anodizing to close the current path.
Here is the driver assembly in the Dark Horse heatsink:
I set the driver to 265mA, getting 307mW out of the Aixiz acryllic lens (still waiting for my 405-G glass lens)
Yeah, Quantile's photography is top notch What sets his work apart from mine is the damned lighting... it's bloody perfect! I'm guessing soft-box or really good white balance (via manual setting or post-processing).Bionic-Badger said:Goregeous shot of that diode. I'm glad at least some people know how to take photos.
jayrob said:...mine is a little lower in efficiency. I believe it is a very nice longer wavelength though!
Kenom said:so am I understanding correctly that this monster diode can also be found in a sony drive?? What model?
*Kenom goes back and searches. SONY BWU-300S
