We just un-boxed our new DIGISTOR External Blu-ray Burner. We got it in the same package that contained the 250GB Portable Hard Drive that we unboxed and tested a couple of days back. We got one of these, and we're excited! This is the tray-load version, and connects to your system via USB 2.0. As I’ve Continue reading Unboxed: DIGISTOR External Blu-ray Burner, USB 2.0, Tray load For people on the go, those who live a mobile lifestyle, portability is the name of the game. If you live a mobile lifestyle, then you think small, you think portable, you think lightweight. Unfortunately, the smaller they are, the less data they carry (relatively). Living the Mobile Lifestyle: you portable much? MacPCWiz now brings you Continue reading Data Security for Mobile devices nVidia’s ION graphics chip is looking more like a winner by the moment. We talked about the nVidia ION’s graphics capabilities at length, and what a boon they can be to netbooks. But now, David Ragones, product line manager at Nvidia claims here at a CNET.com article that nVidia ION for netbooks supports blu-ray playback. Continue reading nVidia ION allows Blu-Ray viewing on a netbook Never mind that you’d have no USB 3.0 port to plug it in (it’s backward compatible to USB 2.0), never mind that no blank Blu-Ray disc can be had at 12X speed… never mind all that. Optical storage company BUFFALO still pushes out this theoretical speed demon, the BR-X1216U3.

We featured the world’s first 12X internal Blu-Ray burner here at MacPCWiz a few clicks back — that was a Pioneer BDR-205 (Plextor soon followed suit with the PX-B940SA immediately after that). With this same technology, external drive company OWC (Other World Computing) brings you its updated Mercury Pro model, which gives 12X Blu-Ray burning on a quad-interface external optical drive. 
Pioneer presents the BDR-S05J, the first 12X Blu-ray burner. The device supports up to 12x recording on BD-R discs and BD-RE. DVD-RAM and CD-R/RW are also supported.The Pioneer BDR-S05J-BK has 4MB buffer memory and uses SATA interface. It includes a dustproof structure that keeps dust away from the internal of the drive’s case, as well as Pioneer’s Disc-Resonance Stabiliser technology. Read more from MacPCWiz.
With the advent of Blu-Ray technology, it seems that everybody is jumping on that specific bandwagon. Sony now offers a free Blu-Ray upgrade on its newest and latest VAIO laptop computer models. Is this a great deal or what? MacPCWiz found this article, read on.
Sharp has announced that it’s now capable of building a blue-violet laser that’s capable of writing triple and quadruple-layer Blu-ray (BD) discs at up to 8x. This would probably make a case for those people who want to back-up exclusively to Blu-Ray discs. As of the moment, people are still hampered by the 25GB and 50GB limits of Blu-Ray. With this new development, will we be seeing higher data quantities on BD-Rs and BD-REs? Read more from MacPCWiz.
