An external Blu-ray burner was introduced by LaCie

After the final end of the format war, manufacturers returned to the well-established scheme of continually stuning write speed. LaCie's outdoor unit sets a new standard for competitors.

Now operating at 2x recording speed, the LaCie d50 offers the benefits of a blue laser format in a slim, rugged housing: designed primarily for portable devices, the device can write up to XNUMXGB in combination with compatible BDs, so you can use it to get rid of the convenience of storing dozens of DVDs for a while . Of course, with both a PC and a Macintosh accessory, CDs and DVDs can be handled with ease, so you don't have to worry about incompatibility issues.

Communicating via USB 2.0, the LaCie d2 is now available for $ 499.
